Is there is any update about bitcoin in new central budget 2019. Indian exchanges shutdown their service one by one.
In this budget many announcements have been made from tax to infrastructure. As we all were expected to heard something about crypto or blockchain but sadly I can say their is not single statement about crypto or blockchain. When the budget speech began, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman gave special emphasis on Digital India but she did not mention about crypto or blockchain. She mentioned following points about Digital India :-
1- Increasing the Internet connectivity and Internet service provider
2- Information about toilets on Google Maps has been uploaded.
3- Youth will be able to get higher earning jobs in other countries, so government encouraging skills related to artificial intelligence, big data, iOT and robotics in the youth.
4- Startup Programs will be started on Doordarshan where all information related to startup will be given.
5- Every Panchayat will be connected to the internet.
6- New Space India Limited will be set up to help ISRO projects.
7- Business incubator will be established.
8- Online loan facility will also be provided.
9- GST rate on electric vehicle will be reduced from 12 percent to 5 percent
