How to save tax on your Bitcoin investments in India, legally!
A way through the harsh tax reality of Bitcoin trading in India: Live Events Bitcoin ETFs: The Smart, Tax-Optimized, Regulated Choice Why do we look at Bitcoin as a risky alternative? Bitcoin ETF: The smarter choice for you! (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel Indian investors have enjoyed massive gains in Bitcoin , up by over 123% in the past year and currently trading at near ₹1 crore, yet they're burdened by a harsh tax regime. A 30% flat tax, 1% TDS on each trade, and a blanket disallowance of loss set-off have made direct crypto investing punitive and this, there is always a way through the tedious tax regime: there is a smarter, tax-efficient and legal way to invest in current Indian tax rules, profits from Bitcoin trading are taxed at a flat 30% rate, plus a surcharge and a 4% cess. Every trade is subject to 1% TDS, irrespective of profit or loss. Worse still, losses can't be set off against any income, not even other crypto gains, and cannot be carried forward to future tax is one even supposed to make a profit under this regime? This makes us feel like it's less of a tax law and more like a daylight robbery. This means even a prudent, long-term investor is treated like a high-frequency gambler. No tax efficiency, no loss planning, and no differentiation between long-term holding and speculative legal and strategic alternative? Bitcoin ETFs. These are listed exchange-traded funds that track Bitcoin's price but are treated differently under Indian tax direct investments in Bitcoin, which are classified as Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs), Bitcoin ETFs, structured as units of foreign mutual funds, enjoy a favourable classification. If held for over 24 months, gains are taxed as long-term capital gains at just 12.5%, far more investor-friendly than the 30% on VDAs. If sold earlier, short-term gains are taxed at your regular income huge advantage: no 1% TDS. Bitcoin ETF transactions don't suffer from liquidity erosion like direct crypto trades do. Plus, losses from ETF investments can be set off against other capital gains and can also be carried forward to future years, something completely disallowed in direct Bitcoin investing under the current VDA regime as of now. For HNIs and serious investors, this structure can mean up to 60% in tax savings while keeping investments regulated and some platforms offer INR-settled Bitcoin futures, these instruments often operate in regulatory grey zones. They fall outside India's VDA definition but remain unregulated by SEBI, with no investor protection or the collapse of exchanges like Vauld and the ongoing restructuring of WazirX, both Indian exchanges now in Singapore courts, highlight the dangers of trusting unregulated platforms. WazirX's alleged claim that ₹5,000 crore of investor funds are actually company-owned while shielding itself under Singapore law shows how Indian investors are left with no local these platforms pose full counterparty risk. Unlike NSE/BSE derivatives offerings, which have clearing corporations and capital adequacy rules, crypto futures platforms rely entirely on internal solvency, thereby remaining unchecked, unaudited, and the supposed tax advantage is unreliable. Frequent crypto futures trading can attract business income classification, leading to the applicability of a significant compliance short, Bitcoin futures may offer a loophole, but they come at the cost of investor safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term viability. Bitcoin ETFs are unquestionably the better option for traders to invest in, while Bitcoin still carries remaining Indian investors looking to grow their wealth in a compliant, tax-efficient, and secure manner, Bitcoin ETFs offer the ideal solution. They combine the upside of digital assets with the structure and investor protections of traditional finance. Compared to direct crypto trading, Bitcoin ETFs allow investors to save up to 60% in taxes, avoid the 1% TDS, and claim loss set-off and carry-forward, benefits denied under the current VDA tax are platforms through which, Indian investors can now access US-listed Bitcoin ETFs via regulated brokers and GIFT City-compliant structures. In an environment of tightening regulations and ongoing failures of unregulated platforms, ETFs are not just a safer route; they're the only logical path forward.(The article is written by Srinivas L., CEO of 9Point Capital.): Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

Revenge code? Ex-employee in Bengaluru crashes grocery app after layoff
A dramatic cyber breach at Bengaluru-based grocery-tech startup KiranaPro has uncovered a bitter truth in the digital economy of the present day—startups can be as susceptible to insider attacks as they are to outsider cyberattacks. What had seemed to be a sophisticated hack proved to be an act of corporate sabotage by an erstwhile employee who had been fired but still had access to important systems. The breach happened in early June 2025, soon after KiranaPro started layoffs due to financial stress. As per the company's leadership, including CEO Deepak Ravindran, the former employee was able to erase parts of the company's backend infrastructure, such as GitHub code repositories, cloud logs, and some AWS-hosted services. Most importantly, it became possible due to the lapse in revoking access credentials once the employee had made a mistake that costed them dearly. Although the extent of the incident was serious, the company has assured that customer information was not breached. Due to internal backups, especially those located locally by other employees, KiranaPro managed to recover most of its system. Internal operations were disrupted briefly, though no core customer-facing services were directly impacted, though. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDsกับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้| เปิดบัญชีวันนี้ IC Markets สมัคร Undo The company subsequently lodged a police report and launched legal action against the perpetrator. Security vulnerabilities meets financial stress Although the act of sabotage itself was headline news, the circumstances behind it provide a clearer picture of the dangers many startups ignore. KiranaPro was reportedly struggling with the late payment of salaries to current and former staff at the time of the breach. Although the company hasn't attributed the delay to the sabotage, the timing has raised eyebrows about how financial woes can feed internal discontent. The attack also highlights a rising but underappreciated threat across the tech sector—internal users with admin-level privileges and unresolved grudges. Insiders have an advantage over external hackers in that they know the guts of a system, its vulnerabilities, and where to do the most harm. In this instance, no sophisticated malware or phishing was necessary; only a set of credentials and a motive were enough. The initial assumption by the startup that it had been hacked externally introduced a time lag between finding the real cause. Forensic tests were not done before the team arrived at the conclusion that there was no involvement of an outside entity. The breach was completely homegrown. credit: instagram What do we learn from this? KiranaPro's experience is a case study in the consequences that result when HR procedures and cybersecurity measures do not intersect. First, deactivation of credentials at offboarding has to become business-as-usual, particularly for firms dealing in sensitive infrastructure. Second, multi-level authentication and real-time activity tracking by administrative users have to become business as usual. Third, isolated and encrypted regular backups need to be treated as non-negotiable assets rather than optional layers. Finally, there is the human element. Startups need to understand that financial slowness, communication breakdown in layoffs, and insufficient emotional intelligence in employee transitions can all be building blocks of a poisonous culture, one in which digital revenge will indeed be an outcome. KiranaPro might have restored its data, but the actual warning is elsewhere: in an expanding environment where technicality takes precedence over procedural protection, even a single mistake can be the source of a breach not from the outside but from within.
