In March 2020, the ban on cryptocurrency in India was lifted. I havent encountered this article from June 2020, so Ill check it out. With the large number of people working in IT and content creation in India, it feels like they would be in support of bitcoin somewhat.
Ive been working on correcting this for months now. Upwork has been giving me hazy responses every time I write a ticket or call them over the phone.
That escalated quickly and they were going against it again based from the news that we've seen lately about Bitcoin in India. If Upwork doesn't respond properly, IIRC, there's feedback system for employers to give to their freelancers that you can use.
It's based from what you've experienced working with those people. Whether it's positive or not, you can use that function as an employer.
There is no certainty that bitcoin in India works under the same laws as for Example in Russia or the UK. You need to understand that the system of taxation and legal regulation is very weak and antonymous in nature, and this affects the entire economy as a whole. Including in the field of cryptocurrency.
