Guidelines for Reporting Capital Gains and Cryptocurrency Taxes in India
India's income tax rules require careful reporting of capital gains and virtual digital assets (VDAs) like cryptocurrencies and NFTs. VDAs face a flat 30% tax and 1% TDS, with specific provisions for gifted crypto, airdrops, and overseas holdings. Accurate ITR filing involves using the correct forms and declaring gains under appropriate sections, such as Section 112A for equity gains, to avoid penalties and enable loss carryforwards. Exchanges must report crypto transactions to tax authorities.
