📌 When does CNAP rollout start in India?

📌 Who regulates CNAP in India?

The (DoT) and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) oversee CNAP implementation. They mandate telcos to maintain secure CNAM databases.

Default service with no extra user charges; telcos handle costs under regulatory mandates.

📌 How does CNAP link to RBI compliance?

For fintechs, CNAP aids KYC verification in calls, aligning with RBI's customer onboarding norms and fraud prevention.

The Government of India has proposed to introduce the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021 in the upcoming winter session from November 29th, 2021.

In 2018 the RBI had issued a circular imposing a blanket ban on cryptocurrency, prohibiting all the banks and financial institutions whether commercial or finance in nature to deal in digital currency or facilitating transactions for/on the same. The Internet and Association of India challenged the said circular before the Supreme Court alleging that the circular violated the principle of fairness and equality of opportunity.

In March, 2020 the Supreme Court gave a verdict in this case in the matter of Internet and Association of India vs. Reserve Bank of India, it lifted the blanket ban on cryptocurrency which was imposed by the RBI through its 2018 circular. It was a welcome decision for crypto traders in India.

Recently, on 31 May, 2021 the RBI through another circular reiterated the point held in the IMAI judgment and asked banks to not refer to RBI's 2018 circular anymore. This circular has again highlighted the current legal status of cryptocurrency in India i.e. unregulated.

The Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill 2021 is aimed at banning all private digital currencies and impose a regulated way in which a cryptocurrency can be introduced officially. This will cause a lot of cryptocurrencies to follow the official pathway set by the act to become legal in India if the act is passed.

Moreover, the RBI has its own plans of introducing its own official cryptocurrency under Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) when the bill becomes and act. The bill provides a buffer period during which the populace would be allowed to liquidate all its private crypto holdings after which mining, issuing and trading in private crypto will be penalized by the provisions of the bill.

Judge to decide as to admissibility of evidence -- When either party proposes to give evidence of any fact, the judge may ask the party proposing to give the evidence in what manner the alleged fact, if proved, would be relevant; and the judge shall admit the evidence if he thinks that the fact, if proved, would be relevant, and not otherwise. If the fact proposed to be proved is one of which evidence is admissible only upon proof of some other fact, such last-mentioned fact must be proved before evidence is given of the fact first-mentioned, unless the party undertakes to give proof of such fact, and the court is satisfied with such undertaking. If the relevancy of one alleged fact depends upon another alleged fact being first proved, the judge may, in his discretion, either permit evidence of the first fact to be given before the second fact is proved, or require evidence to be given of the second fact before evidence is given of the first fact.

Illustrations -

(a) It is proposed to prove a statement about a relevant fact by a person alleged to be dead, which statement is relevant under section 32. The fact that the person is dead must be proved by the person proposing to prove the statement, before evidence is given of the statement.

(b) It is proposed to prove, by a copy, the contents of a document said to be lost. The fact that the original is lost must be proved by the person proposing to produce the copy, before the copy is produced.

(c) A is accused of receiving stolen property knowing, it to have been stolen. It is proposed to prove that he denied the possession of the property. The relevancy of the denial depends on the identity of the property. The court may, in its discretion, either require the property to be identified before the denial of the possession is proved, or permit the denial of the possession to be proved before the property is identified.

(d) It is proposed to prove a fact (A) which is said to have been the cause or effect of a fact in issue. There are several intermediate facts (B, C and D) which must be shown to exist before the fact (A) can be regarded as the cause or effect of the fact in issue.
