India
India is home to one of the world's largest grassroots bitcoin markets, spanning a huge developer base and millions of retail users. Bitcoin is legal but not legal tender; the rupee remains the only official currency, and the Supreme Court struck down an earlier banking ban in 2020. Taxation is heavy: since 2022 gains are taxed at a flat 30% with no loss offset, and a 1% tax is withheld on every transfer. In 2023 virtual-asset businesses were brought under anti-money-laundering rules and required to register with the FIU, while the RBI continues to urge caution. From Bengaluru and Mumbai to Delhi, meetups, developers and a growing set of merchants keep the scene moving. Use this map to find the Indian places where you can spend sats.
