India's crypto sector is pushing hard for systemic change ahead of the 2026 Budget. The Bharat Web3 Association made its stance clear at the Pre-Budget meeting: fair taxation frameworks, smoother banking access, and actual regulatory clarity are non-negotiables.

Right now, the sector faces a patchwork of unclear rules and banking friction that's stifling growth. What's on the table? Tax structures that won't cripple innovation, a proper banking pathway for crypto firms, and policies that reflect India's ambitions in Web3.

The 2026 Budget could be the turning point—or another missed opportunity. Policymakers have the data, the requests, the case studies from other markets. Whether they act is the real question. The industry is watching closely, and the outcome will shape India's position in the global crypto landscape for years to come.

India is taking quite a big step. It would be great if the 2026 budget can really loosen up... But after all these years, it all depends on what these policymakers think.

India is causing trouble again. They speak nicely, but the policies are still a mess. The banks have extremely high thresholds, so how can they truly promote Web3?

India is at it again. Can we really expect policymakers to listen? Past cases are all on display; it all depends on whether this time is truly a change or just another empty gesture.

India is starting to stir again, sounding nice but ultimately sticking to the same bureaucratic style. Who would believe that?

India is once again tinkering with regulations. Every time they say they want to improve, but what’s the result? Still the same old way... The banking channel issue is really a dead end.

India's recent moves are indeed holding back big plans, but honestly, can they really be implemented? In previous years, it's always been this kind of bickering, and the banks are probably still going to hold things up.
