Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: India tightens crypto rules to fight money laundering and terror funding Original Link: India’s financial intelligence agency has announced stricter identity checks for cryptocurrency exchanges to combat money laundering and terror financing.

New rules by the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), updated Jan. 8, require exchanges to verify users with a live selfie that shows them blinking to prove liveliness and authenticity, alongside precise logging of their geographical coordinates, date, time, and IP address.

Beyond the mandatory Permanent Account Number (PAN), exchanges are required to collect additional documents, such as a passport, driver’s license, Aadhaar card (a local term for central government-issued ID), or voter ID, along with mobile numbers and email addresses, which are confirmed via one-time passwords (OTPs).
