"We will submit it to the finance minister (soon). Of course, once the approval is done, it will be made public," he said.
A committee, headed by Garg, has been tasked to study all aspects of cryptocurrencies and crypto-assets, including Bitcoin.
Earlier during the day, he said India has made a case for putting on tax on profits of a company based on consumption of goods and not its physical presence.
This move could benefit India, which is the world's second-most populous country.
The government has made several representations at the forum of G20 countries, but the idea has been opposed by many countries.
Garg said buyers or users of the goods sold actually contribute a lot in earning profit for a company. So, taxation should be based on significant consumption base, irrespective of the way the goods and services are delivered, he said.
He said, "A multinational company which might be earning revenues from India without actually having a physical presence here. That means if the taxation isn't consumption-based, the company doesn't need to pay anything on the money it makes in India."
