Speaking of taxes, I\u2019ve noticed quite a few questions around how to file returns for your crypto transactions. We\u2019ve made the process simpler for you on the app, and we have also published several articles and videos to help you in this process.This explains <a href=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/switch\/crypto\/what-is-tds-on-crypto\/\">Crypto TDS<\/a> in detail and this piece tells you how we\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/building-blocks\/coinswitch-keeps-you-tds-compliant\/\">simplified the process<\/a>.

On 7th March, the Indian government announced that all crypto transactions will be brought under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act or PMLA, as it\u2019s commonly known. This is something CoinSwitch and the Bharat Web3 Association (BWA) have been asking for a long time and I see it as a positive development for the industry. It will help us weed out bad actors and create a healthier crypto ecosystem in India. I <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ashish343\/status\/1633401318420418560?s=20\">wrote about it on Twitter<\/a> for you to read.<\/p>\n<p>I am pleased to inform you that CoinSwitch is now registered as a Reporting Entity under the rules, providing us a framework to monitor transactions and report to the authorities when we see any malpractice.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019d like to address another question I hear often: What is CoinSwitch doing to keep my data and investments safe? Short answer: We\u2019ve implemented industry leading authentication mechanisms to safeguard our community. We store your crypto in leading custodial wallets and secure your data with advanced SSL\/TLS infrastructure. There\u2019s more of where that came from, in this <a href=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/building-blocks\/security-features-that-ring-fence-the-coinswitch-experience\/\">article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And lastly, I want to share an interesting observation from a startup-tech event I was invited to in Mumbai. Midway through my fireside chat while sharing my thoughts on how Web3 could become a force for public good, I noticed the eagerness and deep interest the Web2 industry leaders showed in crypto technology. To me, this is a sign of the great strides Web3 has made, and of the bright future that lies ahead!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/building-blocks\/the-march-goes-on\/unnamed-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20046\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20046\" src=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/building-blocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/building-blocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/building-blocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/building-blocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/building-blocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/building-blocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the seasons turn, I hope you and your families are healthy and well!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March is always a busy time of year for us.
