Rs 437 crore tax collection: For crypto traders, evading income tax is getting difficult as Tax Dept uses AI, data analytics tools
ET Online Crypto tax In India, avoiding taxes on bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and other virtual digital assets is becoming increasingly difficult. The Income Tax Department is increasing its efforts to monitor transactions related to the virtual digital assets (VDAs) made by individuals. This is being done through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and other data analytics tools. According to the government's reply in the Parliament, the government has collected Rs 437 crore in taxes for FY 2022-23 from VDA-related income. The government implemented income tax rules for crypto and other VDAs from FY 2022- 23. In FY 2022-23, the government collected Rs 269.09 crore in taxes from VDA income. Also read: Indian Railways has deactivated 2.5 crore IRCTC user IDs: Has yours also been deactivated? Check now Members of Parliament asked several questions regarding tax collection, potential revenue loss due to under-reporting/mis-reporting from VDAs' income and the technological tools being used to monitor crypto activity. ET Wealth Online breaks down the government's responses on the use of data tools, centralised systems for matching crypto tax data, and ongoing training programs for tax officers. Questions on income tax collection from VDAs, cryptocurrency Parliamentarians Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu and G M Harish Balayogi, Members of Parliament, Lok Sabha, asked the following questions and the government's response in the Parliament. a) The total revenue collected from income tax on VDA/cryptocurrency-related income during the last three years, year-wise; The government in the Parliament replied: The tax on income from transfer of Virtual Digital Assets (VDA), under section 115BBH of the Income Tax Act, 1961, was introduced from FY 2022-23. The collection of tax on income from VDA, for last three years is as under:Table (b) whether any estimates have been made by the Government regarding the projected revenue loss due to under-reporting/misreporting of income from VDA/cryptocurrency transactions; The government in Parliament replied: No such estimates have been made. (c) Whether the government is using AI/ML/data analytics tools to identify tax evasion in VDA transactions, if so, details thereof; The government in Parliament replied: The government is utilising data analytics tools to trace and detect tax evasion from VDA-related transactions. The analysis includes the use of Non-Filer Monitoring System (NMS), project insight and internal databases of the Income Tax department, to correlate available information on VDA transactions with the transactions disclosed in the return of income by the taxpayer.(d) Whether a centralised system has been established by the Government for real-time matching of VDA-related ITR filings with TDS returns filed by Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), if so, the status of its implementation; andThe government in Parliament replied: Real time matching of VDA related transactions, filed in income tax returns, with information filed by Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) is not being carried out. However, TDS returns filed by VASPs and income tax returns filed by the taxpayers are analysed to identify discrepancies in reported VDA transactions. The Central Board of Direct Taxes has initiated the NUDGE (Non-Intrusive Use of Data to Guide and Enable) campaign to identify such discrepancies for further action. Under NUDGE campaign suitable communications, to review and update their income tax returns, were issued to all taxpayers who did not report VDA-related transactions in their income tax returns, despite tax being deducted at source for such transactions by VASPs, where the quantum of such discrepancy was more than Rs 1 lakh.

Training programs, specialized workshops, Chintan Shivirs and hands-on workshops are regularly conducted by various training institutes under the Income Tax Department. At local level, field offices conduct training sessions and webinars on digital forensics, blockchain analysis, legal frameworks, and handling of digital evidence. The officers and officials are also imparted short term training on digital forensics, in partnership with National Forensic Science University (NFSU), Goa, which empower them to identify and trace VDA related transactions from data captured during intrusive actions.

No pricking business: BITS Hyderabad develops smartwatch-based wearable for blood glucose reading
HYDERABAD: With an aim to offer a non-invasive, painless, low-cost alternative to conventional testing methods of glucose levels in the body, a BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus student and his mentor developed a smartwatch-based wearable diagnostic platform that would use sweat to measure the sugar readings. The research for platform which was developed by the co-founders Abhishek Kumar, a PhD scholar and Prof. Sanket Goel-Principal Investigator, is being translated toward commercialisation through Cleome Innovation, a spin-off from the MEMS (Microfluidics and Nanoelectronics Lab) of the BITS Pilani, Hyderabad campus. The Startup is working to bring the wearable device to the healthcare market for proactive diabetes management, Abhishek Kumar said. "In my family, even around, I have seen diabetes patients. My father, my grandfather, my grandmother, many people are diabetes patients. So I used to test them using that finger prick method ( to draw blood for glucometer). And I literally sometimes used to feel their pain," Kumar told PTI when asked why he chose to innovate the non-invasive method. One of the most significant features of the platform is its cost-effectiveness and the team deliberately engineered the platform to be scalable, low-cost, and reliable. Each component has been selected to minimize cost while maintaining performance, said Abhishek Kumar. The wearable can detect, not only glucose levels, but also uric acid and lactate which are also important metabolic parameters, the research scholar said. According to him, as per the sample which they tested it has achieved a good accuracy of around 97 to 98 percent currently. Kumar said after clinical validation of the product , it would be submitted for regulatory approvals before going into commercialization. "The first trials may start in six months from now. So altogether it may take one year to get into commercial production," he added. This work is a significant improvisation from a turnkey, fully automated, self-testing diagnostic platform capable of detecting key diabetes-related biomarkers, but from urine and sweat samples, offering a painless, low-cost alternative to conventional testing methods. The study has been recently published in the Lab on a Chip journal by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), prof Goel said. Looking forward, the research team is working on translating the system into wearable formats, such as patch-based or flexible skin sensors, to enable continuous and real-time monitoring of multiple analytes, a step toward personalized, on-the-go health tracking, the professor further said. "Diabetes isn't just about glucose; complications can arise silently and early. By monitoring additional markers like lactate and uric acid, we gain a more complete picture of a patient's metabolic condition. Our system does this non-invasively, affordably, and in real time without requiring blood samples. Costing around Rs 2,500, the device continuously delivers results and is designed not just to replace finger-prick tests, but to enable broader metabolic monitoring using simple biofluids like sweat," said Prof. Goel. The team is anticipating working with the industry for technology transfer or enhancing, he added.
