Below the Reaction on Union Budget 2024 by Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, India`s second-longest running digital asset exchange
Here is our analysis of the Union Budget 2024:
Angel tax abolished: India’s startup ecosystem received a big boost in today’s budget as the angel tax is abolished for all classes of investors. This move will be a gamechanger for startups planning to raise funds for their expansion as it will give startups more surplus funds to invest in product innovation and technology development to implement their long-term vision for the industry. The move will encourage a lot of innovators to start their entrepreneurial journey and VCs will find it more convenient to invest in early-stage startups. With deep-tech, blockchain and emerging technologies in focus. VCs will be keen to bet on innovative technologies to facilitate the transition from Web2 to Web3.
TDS on VDAs untouched: However, Web3 as a sector was slightly ignored in the budget as the request to reduce the TDS on VDA transactions was not accommodated in the budget announcement. The delay in reducing the TDS will hamper the industry growth prospects as digital assets will not have a level playing field with other asset classes like stocks, gold and real estate.
Higher tax and not allowed to offset gains: The high tax on gains from VDAs still stands at 30% which is relatively very high and the users are not allowed to offset losses like stocks. This move will prove to be detrimental for the web3 industry as it deprives the industry from a level playing field.
Emerging tech in focus: In an encouraging move, the government highlighted the importance of technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence. Government is actively involved in leveraging the potential of blockchain and AI for better governance and enhanced delivery of citizen schemes. At the same time, the economic survey also talks about the threats and challenges associated with Artificial Intelligence. The deep-fake incidents that occurred recently calls for a responsible use of emerging technologies through constructive collaboration between government and private players.
