I'm curious, how exactly does the 30% tax on cryptocurrency work in India? Does this apply to all transactions involving digital currencies, or are there specific scenarios where it doesn't? And how does this tax rate compare to other countries' regulations on cryptocurrency? Additionally, are there any exemptions or deductions that investors can take advantage of to reduce their tax burden?

Exchanging one cryptocurrency for another is also subject to the same 30% tax rate. This means that individuals who engage in cryptocurrency-to-cryptocurrency exchanges will be required to pay taxes on any profits made from the exchange.
