The crypto market has been moving sideways since early this year and Bitcoin recently fell below the Rs 30,000 mark. The Indian govt, during the budget this year, announced new ways in which the crypto ecosystem will be tracked and taxed. One such method is by charging a 1 percent TDS (Tax deducted at Source).

Recently, there was an error in the Income Tax Department’s website which updated the tax deductible at source on virtual digital assets remains at 0.1 percent instead of 1 percent. The income tax department later provided clarification regarding the same claiming that the TDS rate for virtual digital assets remain the same at 0.1.

An official clarification provided by the company said, “Some media reports have come to the notice of CBDT claiming that the rate of TDS on Virtual Digital Assets (VDA) has been reduced to 0.1 percent. It is hereby clarified that there is no change in the rate of TDS on VDA, which continues to be 1 percent.”
