Shetty predicts that this TDS would likely continue for at least another two years. He said, <em>\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019ll see any immediate reduction in TDS since there have been no formal discussions between the industry and lawmakers specifically around it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>A Glimpse into the Tax Landscape<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The adoption of a <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/indias-cryptocurrency-verdict-to-be-decided-in-coming-months\/\">new law in April 2022 changed the crypto tax environment in India<\/a>. A 30% tax is applied to holdings and transfers of digital currency under this regulation, but there is one unusual restriction: dealers are not permitted to deduct losses from gains.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

Although the purpose of these regulations was to regulate cryptocurrency transactions, they have significantly decreased trade volumes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crypto Exchanges in Survival Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The strict tax laws, particularly the 1% TDS, have forced India\u2019s cryptocurrency exchanges into a state that can only be referred to as \u201csurvival mode.\u201d WazirX\u2019s staff had to be cut by 40% in October 2022, or 60 out of its 150 employees. This action was taken to meet the issues presented by the collapse of the cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n<p>In August 2023, a year later, CoinDCX also had to reduce its workforce by 12% as a result of the protracted bad market and changing tax laws, which had a direct impact on its income.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
