Crypto in the ITR:
• Report VDA (crypto) transactions in Schedule VDA (ITR-2 or ITR-3): date of acquisition, date of transfer, cost of acquisition, sale consideration. Gains are taxed at 30% (Sec 115BBH). Losses can't be set off or carried forward.
• 194S TDS (1%) deducted by exchanges: claim it in Schedule TDS2 (TDS from other than salary), with the deductor's TAN.
• If the crypto was held as stock-in-trade (trading business), still 115BBH (the special rate applies regardless of head).
