Recently, crypto exchange Binance was fined $22.5 lakh (about Rs 18.8 crore) in the country. The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) imposed this fine for not complying with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) Act. Crypto-related firms have to follow this law for business in the country. FIU had said in a statement that Binance A notice was issued to Binance, raising questions about providing services to the citizens of the country without following the PMLA law. In this notice, the exchange was asked why action should not be taken against it for not complying with the duties under this law. Binance gave its reply to this. FIU has said that the allegations against Binance have been found to be true. After this, the Director of FIU has imposed a fine on the exchange using his powers under Section 13 of PMLA.
