Crypto Tax India Calculator

What is the Crypto Tax India Calculator?

Gains on cryptocurrencies, NFTs and other virtual digital assets (VDAs) are taxed under Section 115BBH at a flat 30% plus 4% cess, regardless of how long you held them or your income slab. Only the cost of acquisition can be deducted — not exchange fees, gas fees or other expenses.

Losses on one VDA cannot be set off against gains on another or against any other income, and cannot be carried forward. In addition, 1% TDS is deducted on the sale value under Section 194S. This crypto tax calculator India applies all these rules.
