At its nascent stage, numerous countries have come to realize the immense potential of blockchain and are tapping into the unexplored areas of this disruptive technology. After the Internet, blockchain holds a potential to bring about a radical transformation in the daily lives of individuals.

However, to face the reality, India is banning the use of cryptocurrencies. An industry report on the Indian blockchain sector has raised concerns around a draft proposal by the government to ban cryptocurrency and regulate digital currencies, echoing previous criticism by industry stakeholders and entrepreneurs. According to the yet-to-be-

released report compiled by Blockchained India, illegitimate transactions, evasion of taxes and lack of talent are some of the other critical problems plaguing the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry, primarily due to a lack of regulations.

Decentralized applications on public blockchains can solve myriad Indian problems, such as eliminating middlemen, providing data security, reducing corruption and tampering of financial ledgers, and improving the speed of service delivery by governments and corporations.
