Is bitcoin legal in India?
Bitcoin is legal to buy, hold, and trade in India, but it is not legal tender and the regime is deliberately unwelcoming. Platforms serving Indian users must register with the Financial Intelligence Unit under anti-money-laundering rules, and the tax code imposes a flat 30 percent tax on gains plus 1 percent TDS on transfers, with no offsetting of losses, terms the government reconfirmed in the union budget presented on February 1, 2026. New penalties for unreported crypto transactions take effect from April 2026.
