Crypto & Alt Investments — Quick Answers

How is crypto taxed in India?
Virtual Digital Asset (VDA) transactions are taxed at a flat 30% on gains (no deductions except cost of acquisition). Additionally, 1% TDS applies on transfers above Rs 10,000 (Rs 50,000 for specified persons). Losses cannot be set off against other income. GST also applies to trading platform fees.
What is LRS (Liberalized Remittance Scheme)?
LRS allows resident Indians to remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year for permissible transactions (education, travel, investment in US stocks, real estate abroad). TCS at 20% applies on remittances above Rs 7 lakh for most purposes. Keep Form A2 records for all LRS transactions.
Are Gold BeES and Silver BeES safe investments?
Gold BeES and Silver BeES are ETFs backed by physical gold/silver, traded on NSE like stocks. They eliminate storage and purity concerns of physical bullion. Well-established (Nippon India runs these), regulated by SEBI. Ideal for 5-10% portfolio allocation as an inflation hedge.
Should I invest in US stocks from India?
Yes, if diversification matters to you. Route via LRS through platforms like Vested, INDMoney, or Groww. Tax treatment: US taxes 25% dividend withholding (creditable via DTAA), and Indian capital gains apply (24 months for LTCG). US stocks give sector exposure not available in Indian markets.
