22 March 2018 This is a little complicated case : I participated in an online competition and as an award received cryptocurrency . So, after observing the market I sold that cryptocurrency and converted it into Indian Rupees. Can anyone tell me how is tax applicable in this scenario and how should I file it.

If any expert could spare a little of there valuable time and help me with this, It would be a big help.
Thanks in Advance.

22 March 2018 the cryptocurrency you received as prize is taxable as Income from other sources (need to be valued at the cross rate of cryptocurrency-USD-INR on the day of award). The difference between this value and sell value is taxable as capital gains
