VDA Tax Framework: How Crypto Is Taxed in India

VDA (Virtual Digital Asset) under Section 2(47A) covers cryptocurrencies, NFTs, utility tokens, exchange tokens, meme coins, stablecoins, and any similar digital asset. From 1 April 2026, explicitly includes "crypto-asset" under the new Income Tax Act, 2025.

Section 115BBH taxes VDA transfers at flat 30% + surcharge + 4% cess. Only cost of acquisition deductible - no transaction fees, exchange fees, or gas fees. Same rate regardless of holding period, nature of income, or frequency.

The most punitive feature: losses from one VDA cannot offset gains from another VDA or any income. Each profitable transaction taxed independently. A Delhi trader with Rs 5 lakh BTC profit and Rs 4 lakh ETH loss pays 30% on Rs 5 lakh - not on the net Rs 1 lakh.

Key Terms for ITR for Crypto Traders in Delhi:

S.115BBH: 30% flat on VDA transfer gains. No STCG/LTCG. Only cost of acquisition deductible. No loss set-off or carry-forward.

S.194S: 1% TDS on transfer consideration. Deducted by exchange. Rs 50,000/Rs 10,000 thresholds. Appears in 26AS.

Schedule VDA: Mandatory in ITR-2/ITR-3. Transaction-wise: VDA type, date, sale consideration, cost, income.

No Loss Set-Off: Loss from one crypto cannot offset gain from another crypto or any other income. Losses disregarded completely.

Multiple Exchange Reconciliation	3-5 exchanges with different formats. Cost basis across platforms. Transfer confusion.	Patron imports and consolidates all exchanges. Cross-exchange cost tracking.
Crypto-to-Crypto Swap Tax	BTC→ETH swap often unreported. Each swap = taxable event. Hundreds of swaps per active trader.	Every swap computed. FMV at swap date. New cost basis established.
26AS Mismatch	Schedule VDA sale consideration < 194S gross receipts = defective return notice (S.139(9))	Pre-filing 26AS reconciliation. Zero mismatches.
DeFi / Cross-Chain	Uniswap, Aave, yield farming, bridges. Exchange data doesn't capture. Complex tracking.	Patron tracks DeFi from wallet records. Cross-chain activity mapped.

Crypto Non-Reporting: Automatically Detected via 194S in 26AS
