Additionally, a tax on each trade which the Indian government calls “Tax Deduction at Source or TDS” would come into effect on July 1.
The 30% tax is a flat tax, not depending on your income level, and will come into effect on April.

The tax on each trade (TDS) will apply to trades occuring within Indian exchanges, and should come into effect on July 1st, 2022.
“Regardless of the specificity and aggressive nature of these new taxes, crypto remains an unregulated digital asset class in [India], and there is no specific advancement concerning the regulation of crypto and protection of investors' rights,” said Mishaboar.
