How is crypto day trading income taxed in India?

In India, gains from transferring virtual digital assets, including from frequent crypto day trading, are taxed at a flat 30 percent under Section 115BBH, plus applicable surcharge and cess, with no deduction for expenses other than cost of acquisition. A 1 percent TDS under Section 194S also applies on transfers above the prescribed threshold, and losses generally cannot be set off against other income. Tax treatment depends on your circumstances and current law, so confirm details with a qualified tax professional before acting. This is general information, not tax advice.
