Understand Tax Implication on Cryptocurrency Gains in India

The rise of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies has opened exciting investment opportunities for individuals and businesses. However, along with the potential profits comes the critical responsibility of understanding the Tax Implication on Cryptocurrency Gains.

In India, the government has introduced specific tax provisions to regulate Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) such as cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Failure to comply with these tax laws can result in penalties, interest, and legal scrutiny.

Whether you are an investor, trader, miner, or business accepting crypto payments, it's essential to assess your tax obligations and file your returns correctly. Company Mitra’s Tax Implication on Cryptocurrency Gains package helps you stay compliant, reduce legal risks, and avoid costly mistakes.

How Cryptocurrency Gains are Taxed in India

The Indian government classifies cryptocurrencies under Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) and has implemented strict tax rules effective from the financial year 2022-23.

Here are the key highlights:

✅ Flat 30% tax on profits earned from cryptocurrency transfers, with no deductions except the cost of acquisition.
✅ 1% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) under Section 194S applicable to crypto transactions exceeding ₹10,000 (₹50,000 for specified persons).
✅ Cryptocurrency income must be reported in the Income Tax Return (ITR), even if VDAs are held overseas.
✅ Gifts, mining income, staking rewards, and payments received in crypto are taxable under applicable heads.
