Indian Cryptocurrency Exchanges Plan to Maintain Shared User DatabaseCryptocurrency exchanges in India are reportedly “planning to create a central repository of users that will help create and maintain a real-time record of transactions,” the Economic Times reported. The exchanges are members of the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Committee (BACC) of the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) which has seven members that are crypto exchanges.
Ajeet Khurana, head of the committee, emphasized that “This is one of the proposals we are planning to submit to the government committee which is looking into the issue of cryptocurrency.” A top industry member explained to the publication:

The purchase data of buyers and sellers of the virtual currency can then be traced through either the Aadhaar ID or the Permanent Account Number (PAN) of the user. Details such as the total number of cryptocurrencies held, the value thereof as well as the pattern of buying and selling by individual users will be available through the central repository.
