Stablecoins, RWA & Tokenization

How are tokenized real-world assets taxed in India?

In India, tokenized real-world assets are generally treated as Virtual Digital Assets when they are issued or transferred on a blockchain, which means gains are taxed at a flat 30 percent under Section 115BBH, with a 1 percent TDS applying to transfers. Because of this classification, profit on a tokenized gold or equity token is taxed like other crypto gains rather than like the underlying asset held directly. Tax treatment can depend on the specific token structure and may change, so confirm the position for your situation with a qualified tax adviser before investing.

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.
