BWA stands for Bharat Web3 Association and it seems they have approached the finance minister with this proposition to make the balance in a recent news article.

Among the things they have asked for, rationalizing the taxation on crypto is something that everyone here can agree on.

But one thing I could not understand, they are asking to "level the playing field" as per the writers of this article - however who are they competing against? and for what? Or am I missing something here?

The entire news article can be read here - ‘Provide a Level Playing Field for Web3 Businesses’: BWA to FM Nirmala Sitharaman

I guess by leveling the playing field they mean to lower the tax rates and match it with the tax rates of stocks.
Currently the STCG tax is 15% and LTCG tax is 10% and so may be they are saying to make the crypto taxation the same.
That would be great though.
