भारत में क्रिप्टो टैक्स
Section 115BBH: 30% flat tax on crypto gains (कोई slab नहीं, कोई deduction नहीं!)। 1% TDS on transfers (Section 194S)। Losses: किसी भी income से set off नहीं कर सकते। Crypto-to-crypto swap भी taxable। दुनिया के सबसे harsh crypto tax regimes में से एक।

WazirX, CoinDCX, CoinSwitch: popular Indian exchanges। KYC mandatory। IT department actively tracking। P2P trading भी TDS applicable। सब कुछ report करें — penalties भारी हैं।
Crypto is one of the only asset classes not subject to wash sale rules in 2026. This means you can sell at a loss to harvest the tax deduction and immediately repurchase — a strategy that saves thousands for active traders. Congress has proposed extending wash sale rules to crypto but has not yet passed such legislation.
