MP Raghav Chadha introduces Bill to regulate asset tokenisation

Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Friday introduced a Private Member’s Bill titled “The Asset Tokenisation (Regulation) Bill, 2026” in the House, seeking to establish a clear legal and regulatory framework for tokenised real-world assets in India.

The proposed legislation aims to provide legal recognition to asset tokenisation in the country and bring clarity to the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem. The Bill seeks to create a statutory structure governing the issuance, trading, custody and settlement of tokenised assets representing real-world holdings.

According to Chadha, the initiative is intended to ensure transparency, accountability and investor protection while encouraging innovation in the financial technology sector. The Bill also calls for regulatory oversight to safeguard market integrity and maintain financial stability in tokenised asset markets.

Chadha had earlier urged the government to introduce a dedicated Tokenisation Bill, advocating the division of assets such as real estate, infrastructure projects and intellectual property into digital units that can be purchased in smaller portions.
