Indian Compliance & Tax

Is the 30% crypto tax in addition to the 1% TDS?

Yes. In India the 30% tax and the 1% TDS are two separate mechanisms, not stacked extra cost. The 30% is the flat tax on your gain from transferring a virtual digital asset, while the 1% TDS is deducted at the point of sale above threshold limits and credited against your final liability. So if you owe 30% on a profit, any TDS already deducted reduces what remains payable. Worked simply: ₹10,000 gain means ₹3,000 tax, and TDS withheld during the year is adjusted against that ₹3,000 when you file.
