There are no transaction fee, as of now, and even thereafter it will be a fraction of what other exchanges in India are charging. Hope you look forward to it and find this news useful!!!
Welcome to BitcoinTalk. Nice to see an advocate is being involved into Bitcoin.
Would like to know, by law, is bitcoin mining taxable in India, as long as the mined coins are not being converted to FIAT, i.e. INR ?
As per my understanding mining of bitcoins will not be taxable as per current tax regime. However, the department may treat it as a wealth source and charge wealth tax on the same. Secondly, if you convert the same into INR it might be treated as income from other sources and you may have to pay tax on it but it will also show your bonafide in declaring it with tax authorities and also use the legitimate earned money into other things.
This is where I'm confused. Taxing while converting to FIAT is fine, but on what tax structure or guideline Bitcoin can be taxed as a wealth as long as it is not converted to FIAT ?
Suppose, someone is earning 0.1 BTC per month whose FIAT value typically varies between INR 3000 to INR 6000 as per recent market scenario. Now what wealth tax can be applied to this person when he accumulates 1.2 BTC at the end of the financial year and does not convert any part of it to FIAT ?
