SMV Chambers offers expert FIU-IND Registration services in India for businesses operating in sectors regulated under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Our team helps you meet all compliance obligations under the Financial Intelligence Unit of India (FIU-IND), with a focus on clarity, accuracy and regulatory foresight. Whether you are running an online gaming platform, a cryptocurrency business or a financial services company, we ensure your registration process is smooth and timely.
FIU-IND Applicability for Cryptocurrency, Fintech, Gaming and VDA Companies
In India, the FIU-IND now mandates registration for entities operating in high-risk or digital-first sectors. This includes cryptocurrency exchanges, VDA (Virtual Digital Asset) service providers, fintech platforms, digital wallets, and online gaming companies offering real-money or skill-based games. As these businesses fall under the definition of reporting entities under the PMLA, they are required to undergo the FIU-IND Registration process to report suspicious transactions and maintain robust compliance systems. Non-compliance can lead to investigation, operational disruption or penalties. Our firm guides these businesses through the full compliance lifecycle, ensuring they meet the FIU-IND registration requirements with confidence.
Understanding FIU-IND Registration and Its Significance
The FIU-IND Registration is a mandatory compliance requirement under the PMLA for reporting entities. These include Virtual Digital Asset service providers, online gaming platforms, financial institutions, NBFCs, payment processors and fintech firms. Registration allows these entities to report suspicious transactions, cash movement and digital asset activity to government agencies.
For businesses in high-risk or regulated sectors, registration with the Financial Intelligence Unit of India not only demonstrates a strong compliance posture but also builds investor confidence and operational credibility.
