About this converter
The crypto converter pulls live prices from CoinGecko’s aggregated feed across 600+ global exchanges and shows you what 1 BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, USDT, XRP, ADA, or DOGE is worth in INR right now. Prices refresh every 60 seconds and include the 24-hour change and market capitalisation so you can see momentum at a glance.
For Indian users, two contexts matter. First, taxation: crypto gains are taxed at 30% flat under Section 115BBH of the IT Act (Finance Act 2022), with no loss set-off allowed and a 1% TDS deducted by exchanges on transactions over ₹50,000 per year. Second, price spread: Indian exchanges (CoinDCX, WazirX, ZebPay) typically add 2-5% over the global rate due to demand asymmetry and on-ramp costs — useful to know before placing market orders.
Use this tool to estimate fair value before trading, to convert holdings to INR for ITR reporting under Schedule VDA, or to track portfolio worth without logging into an exchange. Prices are reference rates, not executable quotes.

Crypto in the Indian Context
Indian retail crypto holdings surged from near-zero to over 2 crore unique users between 2020 and 2024. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the major stablecoins remain the bulk of trading volume on SEBI-licensed Indian exchanges (CoinDCX, ZebPay, CoinSwitch). Live prices on this page come from CoinGecko’s aggregated feed across 600+ global exchanges and refresh every 60 seconds.
Two regulatory layers shape every transaction. Section 115BBH taxes all crypto gains at a flat 30% — with no loss set-off across coins or against other income. Section 194S applies a 1% TDS on all transactions above ₹50,000 per year (₹10,000 for specified persons). These rules apply regardless of holding period; there’s no LTCG concession for crypto.

The Indian Premium: Exchanges in India usually quote BTC/ETH 2-5% above the global CoinGecko reference. This ‘INR premium’ comes from on-ramp friction, withdrawal limits, and concentrated demand. Always compare exchange quotes against the global mid-market rate (this page) before placing market orders.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Selling at a Gain
Bought 0.1 BTC at ₹40 L total in Jan 2024. Sold at ₹70 L in Nov 2025. Gain = ₹30 L. Tax under 115BBH = ₹9 L (flat 30%). TDS deducted by exchange = ₹70,000 (1% of sale). Net cash to wallet = ₹69.3 L; remaining tax payable at ITR filing = ₹8.3 L.
Example 2: Crypto-to-Crypto Swap
Swap 1 ETH (cost ₹1.5 L, current value ₹2 L) for SOL. The ‘sale’ triggers 30% tax on ₹50K gain = ₹15,000 tax. SOL acquired at ₹2 L cost basis. Every swap is a taxable event in India.
Example 3: Loss on One Coin, Gain on Another
Bought 1 BTC (gain ₹5 L) and 100 SOL (loss ₹2 L) in same year. Tax: 30% on ₹5 L = ₹1.5 L. The ₹2 L SOL loss is wasted — no set-off allowed under 115BBH. This is one of the harshest crypto-tax structures globally.
Best Practices for Indian Crypto Holders
- Use SEBI-licensed exchanges (CoinDCX, ZebPay, CoinSwitch, WazirX) — TDS is auto-deducted; saves trouble at ITR filing.
- Track cost basis per coin — Most exchanges export CSV. Maintain a spreadsheet of buy date, INR amount, quantity.
- Don’t swap frequently — Each swap = taxable event. HODL strategy is also tax-efficient.
- Cold wallet for long-term — Hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) for amounts above ₹5 L. Exchange wallets are convenience-only.
- Schedule VDA is mandatory in ITR-2 or ITR-3 if you hold any crypto. Non-disclosure is a high-penalty offence.
