I am not sure how encryption issues will be addressed without jeopardising platform security. Also, I lack the legal knowledge to determine if overriding end-to-end encrypted communication is similar to breaking the lock of any door, box, locker, safe, or almirah. Dhruv Garg, a technology lawyer, elaborates on my concerns regarding data privacy under the impending Income Tax Bill [1].> He explained that the bill defines "virtual digital space" broadly, encompassing both digital elements and physical infrastructure like servers. This, he noted, blurs the boundary between the virtual and physical world, raising potential privacy issues. "This has the potential to challenge the existing paradigm of privacy in India," Garg warned. He explained that the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) is designed to avoid conflicts with other laws.
I hope that the scope of the proposed tax law will not expand in future. Under the current circumstances, the extent of my privacy due to end-to-end encrypted communication in India, appears to be limited largely with respect to my neighbours and colleagues. I get a similar feeling when I share my personal details through soft copies or xerox copies of my Aadhaar [2] to individuals of various small and big organizations as proof of my identity and address.

In the Finance Bill 2025, Finance Minister of India gives legal backing to govt accessing digital assets [1].> Under the new framework of the Finance Bill 2025, tax officials can access encrypted communications, cloud storage, and digital asset exchanges if they believe a person has concealed taxable income or cryptocurrency holdings.
> The new tax bill allows officials to access communication platforms like emails, WhatsApp, and Telegram, as well as enterprise software and storage servers businesses use to conceal financial transactions. "Gathering evidence from digital accounts is essential not only to prove tax evasion before a court of law but also to compute the exact amount of tax evaded,'' said the FM.
The Indian government has always faced the challenge of striking a tight balance between individual privacy and national security. Now, in the current digital age, this proposed bill has the potential to violate personal rights and set a dangerous precedent for mass surveillance in India. The final outcome could have ramifications for civil liberties, digital privacy regulations, and encryption standards worldwide [2].
> FM Sitharaman highlighted that digital forensics played a crucial role in unearthing unaccounted money. "Encrypted messages on mobile phones led to unearthing ₹250 crore unaccounted money. Evidence of crypto assets has been detected in WhatsApp messages. WhatsApp communication helped unearth ₹200 crore unaccounted money," said FM Sitharaman on the new bill.
It is not known exactly how WhatsApp communications revealed details about crypto asset transactions, helping unearth ₹200 crore of the total ₹250 crore. Was E2EE compromised? What role did Meta play in this case?
Indian authorities likely obtained the messages directly from the suspects' devices during raids, bypassing the need for Meta to decrypt or provide the data. There’s no public indication that Meta was compelled to assist or provide backdoor access in this specific case.
