Stablecoins, RWA & Tokenization

How are stablecoin gains taxed in India?

In India, gains from stablecoins are taxed as virtual digital assets, meaning profits are subject to a flat 30% tax plus applicable surcharge and cess. Stablecoins fall under the same VDA rules as other crypto, so a gain realized on selling or swapping a stablecoin is taxed at this rate, and losses generally cannot be set off against other income. For example, a profit on converting a stablecoin back to rupees is treated as a taxable VDA gain. Tax treatment can change, so confirm details with a qualified tax professional.

Crypto investments are subject to market risk and volatility. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. This is general information, not investment advice — consider your own circumstances or consult a qualified adviser before investing.
