🚨 India Tightens the Screws on Crypto Tax Compliance
🇮🇳 India’s Finance Ministry has launched a major crackdown on crypto traders who failed to disclose their Virtual Digital Asset (VDA) income. This marks a new era of enforcement in the country's evolving digital asset landscape.
📩 Under the CBDT's NUDGE initiative, over 44,000 emails & messages were sent to individuals flagged for crypto activity not reported in their tax filings.
🔑 Key Figures:
• ₹705 crore (~$80M) collected from VDA taxes (FY23–FY24)
• ₹630 crore (~$75M) in undisclosed crypto income uncovered via raids and surveys
⚠️ Enforcement measures include:
• Reassessment notices
• Seizure operations under the Income Tax Act, 1961
🌐 While India still lacks a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto, this aggressive stance shows that tax compliance is non-negotiable—even in a gray regulatory zone.
🔍 What this means for the industry:
• Voluntary disclosure is now mission-critical
• Regulatory clarity may still be distant, but tax enforcement is already here

Union Budget 2025: New Crypto Tax Proposals and What They Mean for Traders

In a significant development from India’s Union Budget 2025, cryptocurrency has been brought under Section 158B of the Income Tax Act, which addresses “undisclosed income.” This move introduces block assessments for crypto traders, empowering government agencies to investigate unreported crypto income, potentially imposing a hefty tax penalty of up to 60% for non-disclosure.

This retrospective measure, set to apply from February 1, 2025, will drastically increase the risk for retail crypto investors or traders who fail to report their earnings. Under block assessment, taxes are levied over multiple years, significantly escalating the financial consequences. Meyyapan Nagappan, Partner at Trilegal, pointed out that this shift will likely encourage traders to transact through regulated exchanges that withhold taxes, ensuring compliance with tax laws.

Moreover, India’s inclusion in the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), as per the G20 declaration, mandates automatic exchange of tax information on crypto-assets across 52 jurisdictions. Alongside, the definition of “crypto asset” has been updated, recognizing it as a digital value secured by cryptographic technology, applicable from April 1, 2026.

Despite these advancements, there is no relief on high taxes in the sector. The current tax regime includes a 30% tax on crypto income and a 1% TDS on crypto transactions exceeding ₹10,000. These taxes have led to a sharp decline in trading volumes on Indian exchanges, with losses of up to 90% since their introduction in 2022.

While traders were hoping for tax reductions to foster participation, concerns remain over the continued disparity between compliant domestic exchanges and non-compliant international ones, particularly regarding the TDS provisions. The crypto community continues to await further adjustments to encourage growth while balancing regulatory oversight.

India’s Crypto Crossroads: Cautious Today, Potential Tomorrow?”

Crypto isn’t illegal in India—but a 30% profit tax, 1% TDS, and required FIU registration make the landscape tough. Exchanges like Binance and Coinbase have re-entered, but retail volumes have fled offshore. Meanwhile, the RBI debates crypto’s stability risks while piloting the Digital Rupee. Everything hinges on the upcoming policy discussion—will India embrace digital assets or retreat behind CBDCs and capital controls?

BULLETIN: India Confirms Strict Crypto Tax Regime for 2025
The Indian government has solidified its rigorous approach to taxing Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs), including cryptocurrencies, with detailed guidance confirming the continuation of a flat 30% tax rate on all transfer income. This rate, one of the highest globally, is applied irrespective of the holding period and is subject to an additional surcharge and cess. $TWT
A core provision that remains contentious within the Indian crypto community is the strict rule allowing no set-off of losses. $BNSOL
This means losses from one crypto trade cannot be used to offset gains from another, nor can they be carried forward. Furthermore, a mandatory 1% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is applied to most transactions above a minimal threshold, acting as a crucial tracking mechanism for the tax authorities. While the measures aim to bring clarity and revenue from the burgeoning sector, the stringent, punitive structure continues to fuel debate among traders and investors who argue for a more favorable, capital-asset-like treatment.
