FAQ
Can I offset crypto losses against gains?
Within crypto/VDA — yes. Across to other heads — no. Section 115BBH disallows set-off and carry-forward, even against future crypto gains. The treatment is uniquely punitive.
Is crypto-to-crypto trade taxable?
Yes. Each trade is a transfer u/s 2(47). Convert ETH to BTC = sale of ETH (taxable) + purchase of BTC (cost basis reset).
How is staking / mining income taxed?
As regular income at slab rate (not under section 115BBH). When you later sell, the slab-taxed amount becomes your cost basis for the 30% gain calc.
