Also, the people who will trade cryptocurrencies will also get penalized.

However, it is not certain yet that if there will be a complete ban or not. The minister reported that cryptocurrency is not at risk for now. So, a framework can be expected which will set some limits and cryptocurrency will not be completely banned.
