How it works

The 30% tax and 1% TDS

Section 115BBH — 30% on gains

A flat 30% tax on the gain from transferring crypto, plus a 4% cess (and possible surcharge). No expense deductions except cost of acquisition, and losses cannot be offset or carried forward.

Section 194S — 1% TDS

A 1% TDS on transfers above ₹10,000 in a financial year (₹50,000 for specified persons). It is deducted at source and credited against your final tax — a prepayment, not an extra tax.

FAQ

Crypto tax questions

How much tax do I pay on crypto in India?

A flat 30% tax applies to your crypto gains under Section 115BBH, plus a 4% cess on that tax — an effective 31.2% before any surcharge. Losses cannot be set off or carried forward. Separately, a 1% TDS applies to transactions above ₹10,000 in a financial year (Section 194S), which is creditable against your final tax.

Is the 1% TDS an extra tax?

No. The 1% TDS is an advance payment deducted at source and credited back against your total tax liability when you file. It is a prepayment, not an additional cost on top of the 30%.

Does this include surcharge?

The estimate uses the flat 30% plus 4% cess. A surcharge may also apply at higher income levels. This tool is for education only — consult a chartered accountant for your exact liability.
