India imposes 30% tax on crypto gains as 39 million users hold $2.1 billion in digital assets

  • India's stringent 30% flat tax on crypto gains and 1% TDS has led to significant capital outflows, with an estimated $6.1 billion moving offshore annually.
  • The inability to offset losses against gains exacerbates the tax burden for India's 39 million crypto investors, pushing trading activity to international platforms.
  • The Reserve Bank of India's continued advocacy for a complete crypto ban further complicates the domestic landscape, limiting banking access for crypto businesses.
