\n

Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM) represented Bybit, world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, in successfully navigating regulatory challenges to secure its registration as a Virtual Digital Asset Service Provider (“ VDASP<\/span>”) with the Financial Intelligence Unit – India (“ FIU-IND<\/span>”). CAM played a critical role in liaising with Indian law enforcement agencies to facilitate the unblocking of Bybit’s website, which had been restricted by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (“ MeitY<\/span>”). CAM team facilitated key regulatory engagements, including multiple representations before the FIU-IND, strategic alignment of product offerings with extant Indian regulations, and guided the KYC\/AML standards to meet regulatory benchmarks.<\/p>\n

As part of Bybit’s regulatory and operational onboarding in India, CAM tax team played a pivotal role in navigating the complex and rapidly evolving tax landscape surrounding virtual digital assets. The advisory encompassed both direct and indirect tax domains, with a strategic focus on aligning Bybit’s diverse global product suite with Indian tax laws. This involved detailed analysis of income characterization, GST applicability, and withholding tax obligations.<\/p>\n

The transaction was led by Pallavi Singh Rao<\/span>, Partner;<\/span> Shatrajit Banerji<\/span>, Partner;<\/span> with support from Shrish Gautam<\/span>, Senior Associate;<\/span> Siddharth Kothari<\/span>, Associate;<\/span> and Mainak Mukherjee<\/span>, Associate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kunal Savani<\/span>, Partner;<\/span> with support from Bipluv Jhingan<\/span>, Principal Associate;<\/span> Shivam Garg<\/span>, Principal Associate<\/span>; and Samyak Navedia<\/span>, Consultant.<\/span> assisted in tax related aspects of the transaction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
