Quick Summary

TDS under Section 194S generally does not apply on crypto swaps through a foreign exchange without Indian PAN. Such transactions must be reported as Virtual Digital Assets in ITR, and gains are taxable at 30% under Section 115BBH without deduction of expenses.

Under Section 194S, TDS on crypto swaps applies when the payer is resident in India and the exchange has an Indian PAN. For a Singapore-based foreign exchange with no Indian PAN, the at-source deduction mechanism does not apply. Your obligation shifts to declaring the gains as a Virtual Digital Asset under Section 115BBH in your ITR and paying 30% flat tax, with no expense deductions allowed. Given how fact-specific cross-border VDA transactions are, it is worth getting a clear answer before filing: the team at [Tax Garden](https://taxgarden.in/services) handles VDA taxation and ITR compliance.
