Rules in India to keep in mind
Crypto assets are not legal tender in India, and the Reserve Bank of India has repeatedly cautioned about their risks. Prices can move by several percent in a single day, as the table shows. Gains from transferring crypto assets are taxed at a flat 30%, losses cannot be set off against other income, and 1% TDS (tax deducted at source) applies on transfers above the specified limits. Exchanges serving Indian users must be registered with the Financial Intelligence Unit.
Unlike a currency issued by a central bank, Bitcoin and Ether have no issuer that manages their value. They trade around the clock on exchanges worldwide, so their prices react to global demand, regulation in large markets, the flow of money into exchange-traded funds abroad and the overall appetite for risk. That is why one day’s move can be large even when nothing has changed in India.
Rupee prices differ slightly between exchanges because each has its own buyers and sellers, fees and spreads. The figures here are CoinGecko’s aggregate prices across many exchanges, captured once a day, and are meant for tracking the trend rather than for trading.
