A.Dear Client,

Binance trading or cryptocurrency trading is not explicitly illegal in India, and as of now, there is no specific legislation regulating it. However, it's important to note that the government recently blocked access to the websites of major global cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, Kucoin, and OKX. This action was taken after the government issued show-cause notices to these exchanges for non-compliance with the country's money laundering laws.

To address issues related to cryptocurrency scams or fraudulent activities, individuals can report cybercrimes, including those involving Binance trading, through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP). This portal is an initiative of the Government of India to facilitate the reporting of cybercrimes online.

In the event of being a victim of scams or frauds related to cryptocurrency trading, it is advised to contact the customer service of the respective exchange, such as Binance, and raise concerns with their representatives. Seeking assistance and justice through legal channels in India is crucial.

Once a cybercrime report is filed online with the NCCRP, and upon the instruction of the Cyber Crime Cell, the victim's bank account may be frozen or rendered inoperative. This action is taken by the bank to put a lien on the account during the investigation. The length of time required for the investigation can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the case, available resources, and victim cooperation.

For further guidance and clarifications, victims can visit the cybercrime cell of the police. It is essential to cooperate fully during the investigation process. Any gains from fraudulent transactions may lead to legal consequences if proven during the investigation of the scam.

A.Dear Client,
Incidentally, Binance trading or cryptocurrency trading is neither illegal nor it is regulated by any specific legislation yet in India. However, access to websites of top global cryptocurrency exchanges and virtual digital asset service providers such as Binance, Kucoin, OKX, and others, was blocked in India a few weeks ago. This comes after the government sent show-cause notices to these crypto exchanges for not complying with the country's money laundering laws. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP) is an initiative of the Government of India to facilitate victims/complainants to report cybercrime including cryptocurrency scams or complaints online. However, when one is a victim of scams and frauds while trading in cryptocurrency involving Binance trading, is advised that when any suspicious activity is detected in a trader’s exchange wallet, they should contact the customer service of that exchange, and raise their concern with the representatives as a precautionary measure to seek justice in India. So, once a cyber crime involving cryptocurrency/Binance trading is reported online to NCCRP, on the instruction of Cyber Crime Cell, the victim's Bank account is frozen/inoperative putting a lien on the account by the Bank and you have to wait for the completion of the investigation of the scam by the investigating agency. The length of time it takes to investigate a cybercrime can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the resources available to the investigating agency, and the cooperation of the victim. you may visit the cyber crime cell of the Police for further clarifications and necessary guidance in the matter and extend your cooperation to get yourself free from cyber scams. Any earnings or gains arising out of fraudulent transactions shall cause you to face legal consequences if proven on investigation of the scam. You may also consult with a cyber crime expert for further guidance and suitable steps.
