Major Changes Effective 1 April 2024
- Referral Rewards for INR Market Trades Only: Referral rewards will now be exclusively applicable on trades made in our INR market. This means that you'll earn rewards on trades done by your referral in the INR/Crypto trading pairs alone. Referrals for non-INR markets will not be eligible for rewards.
- Referral rewards will be distributed in INR only.
- Monthly Disbursement Cycle: Moving forward, referral rewards will be disbursed on a monthly basis instead of daily. Rewards will be credited in the first week of the following month.
- 10% TDS Deduction During Monthly Payouts: To comply with regulations, a 10% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under section 194R will be deducted from your referral rewards during monthly payouts.
We're really excited that you want to be part of the referral program and spread the word about WazirX with all your family and friends. The following article will help you understand all the details of the program. We have tried to be as transparent as possible & kept the program simple so you can focus on earning more rewards instead of worrying about any terms and conditions!
What is the WazirX Referral Program?
The WazirX Referral Program is a great opportunity for you to earn up to 50% of every trading fee paid by your friends on WazirX as a reward. It is our way of rewarding you for your efforts in helping bring more users to WazirX and being a part of the crypto revolution in India! It is probably the most rewarding crypto referral program currently in India.
How does it work -
What are the conditions that need to be considered to be eligible for the referral rewards?
To qualify for referral rewards, several conditions must be met. Firstly, only KYC-verified Indian users are eligible, and it is imperative that their PAN is linked to their Aadhaar. Additionally, users must not fall under the category of specified persons as per section 206AB of the Income Tax Act. To earn referral rewards, a minimum trading threshold of INR 10,000 (in any crypto) must be met within the last 30 days. Furthermore, users are required to hold WRX to maximize rewards, with the reward percentage determined by the quantity of WRX held. Both these conditions are mandatory for eligibility. Additionally, users are advised against running ads with referral codes or engaging in self-referrals. WazirX reserves the right to cancel reward distribution in such instances at its discretion.
Please note that, from April 1, 2024, referral rewards will not be applicable for trades conducted in non-INR markets.
In what currency will I earn my reward?
You will receive the referral rewards in INR.
How much can I earn in this referral program?
As much as you want! Your referral reward percentage will be calculated based on the quantity of WRX held by you. The earnings are truly unlimited!
The more your referred friend trades and you HODL WRX, the more you earn.
(We do reserve the right to adjust or change the referral program rules in the future.)
How can I refer a friend to WazirX using my referral code?
Once you sign up, you can access your unique referral/invite link by going to the Referral screen. You can share your referral/invite link with your friends by simply copying it and sharing it everywhere or using one of the sharing options, such as Telegram, Twitter, Facebook, orWhatsApp.
When your friend clicks on this link and signs up for a WazirX account through the web or by entering the referral code during app signup, you will be eligible to earn referral rewards.
When will the reward be credited to my account?
Rewards will be credited on a monthly basis within the first week of the following month.
How can I track the rewards and friends I've referred to?
When you head over to the referrals screen, you can see the following -
- Total referrals - This is the total number of friends who clicked on your referral link and signed up successfully on WazirX.
- Total rewards - This is the total rewards you earn from all the trades of all your friends. The value is expressed in INR by calculating the latest INR value of your crypto referrals earned.
- Your reward rate - This is the rate at which you will earn rewards.
- Reward history - This is a list of rewards you have recently earned.
- Referred friends - This is a list of friends who have used your referral link and signed up successfully.
For security reasons, we will not be sharing personally identifiable details about which friends used your referral link.
Do you have any tips that will help me earn more rewards?
- Share your invite link with as many friends as you can. The more friends you share it with, the more likely they are to sign up. Use social media, chat, and emails to share your invite link. However, users are advised against running ads with referral codes or engaging in self-referrals.
- Get your friends excited about crypto and why they need to sign up on an exchange like WazirX.
- Let your friends know about the benefits of signing up with your invite link instead of signing up directly.
- Encourage your friends to use their own referral links after they sign up. This will build their trust in you.
- Push your friends to trade more on WazirX so you can earn more with every trade!
- HODL WRX!

- Your friend clicked on another referral link and signed up with that link.

- Your friend has not completed their first successful transaction on WazirX.
- You or your friend did not meet the rules below:
