Is Crypto Trading Taxable?

Yes. Crypto trading is taxable in India. Each time you sell crypto for INR or swap one crypto for another, you may have a taxable gain or loss. The gain is taxed at 30% (plus surcharge and cess). You need to track every trade: buy date, buy price, sell date, sell price, and fees. Use this to calculate profit for each disposal. Even if you are day trading or swing trading, each sale is a taxable event. Consider using a crypto tax calculator or software that imports from exchanges.
