The Finance Bill of 2022 introduced a new section called 194S in the Income-Tax Act, 1961, to levy 1% TDS on any consideration paid for the transfer of Virtual Digital Assets (VDA). Crypto is considered a VDA.
TDS Deduction:
When you complete a trade on WazirX, we deduct the TDS on your behalf and transfer it to the Income Tax Department in the form of INR.
TDS is applicable when you sell in the INR/Crypto market, buy/sell in the Crypto/Crypto market & sell in the P2P market. TDS is not levied when you buy in the INR/Crypto market.
| Markets | Crypto/INR | Crypto/Crypto | P2P | |||
| Order Type | Buy | Sell | Buy | Sell | Buy | Sell |
| TDS Rate | NA | 1% | 1% | 1% | NA | 1% |
Note: As per Section 206AB of the Income-Tax Act, 1961, if the user has not filed their Income Tax Return in the last 2 years and the amount of TDS is ₹50,000 or more in each of these two previous years, then the TDS to be deducted (for Crypto-related transactions) will be at 5%.
TDS Tracking:
- To check the TDS deducted for a particular trade, you can go to your completed order history and select the trade. You'll be able to see the amount deducted as TDS.
- To check your entire history of TDS deduction, you'll have to download your trading report and visit the Exchange Trades section. (To download the trading report, open your WazirX account, Go to Account Settings > Download Reports > Trading Report > Enter the timeline > Request Trading Report).
Crypto/INR:
Crypto/Crypto:
In the above example, TDS is deducted in USDT. Later on, WazirX converts this USDT into INR and transfers it to the Income Tax Department.
