Indian Compliance & Tax

What records should I keep for crypto tax filing in India?

For crypto tax filing in India you should keep a dated record of every transaction: acquisition cost, sale value, transaction fees, the date of each transfer, and TDS deducted. Wallet addresses, exchange statements, and bank entries tying rupees to trades all support your filing if questioned. The cleaner this trail, the easier it is to reconcile against your Form 26AS and Annual Information Statement. For example, a simple log noting you bought at ₹40,000 and sold at ₹55,000 on specific dates makes computing the ₹15,000 gain straightforward at filing time.

This is general information, not tax advice. Tax rules change and depend on your individual circumstances — verify the current rules or consult a qualified tax professional before acting.
