Is your Token legally compliant?

With aggressive FIU-IND enforcement and the introduction of the Asset Tokenisation Bill 2026, launching a token or operating a Web3 platform in India carries immense regulatory risk.

This engine analyzes your tokenomics and platform operations to flag whether you are operating an unregistered security, violating PMLA guidelines, or breaching Section 194S TDS requirements.

Disclaimer: This tool provides preliminary regulatory risk exposure guidance and does not constitute formal legal advice. Token classification requires bespoke legal structuring to avoid severe regulatory penalties.

The India Web3 Regulatory Matrix
1
SEBI Jurisdiction (Securities) Tokens promising yield or pegged to real-world assets risk being classified as securities, requiring massive compliance.
2
FIU-IND Mandate (PMLA) Any platform facilitating crypto-to-fiat, crypto-to-crypto swaps, or custody must register as a Reporting Entity.
3
CBDT Taxation (VDAs) Pure utility tokens attract 30% tax and mandatory 1% TDS on transfers under Section 194S.

A misclassified token or unregistered exchange invites severe PMLA and SEBI penalties. Contact our Web3 Legal desk for precise structural counsel.
