It's worthless. I've bought $100 worth of BTC and they've given $92 worth of it (Remember; there cut is 8%)... Not only this, one has to pay currency conversion fee (INR > USD/EUR) which adds up to 2.5%, so in total one has to pay roughly 10.5 to 11%. To hell with profits, I'm feeling at a loss here

This makes me ask; where do you guys buys BTC from? I've had a look at LocalBitcoins but is there any other option?
How is your experience with moneypolo Is there any better option that I'm missing out for Indian buyers?





How do you buy from Moneypolo, do You make bank transfer or  payment is done through debit/credit card? Localbitcoin is good if you know that seller/buyer is genuine or else can try Indian exchange.


You can buy via Moneypolo with debit / credit card

Your DC/CC > MP FUNDS > WITHDRAW AS BTC-E COUPON > LOAD BTC-E > GET BTC > WITHDRAW BTC TO MP > WITHDRAW TO YOUR MP VISA CARD > WITHDRAW TO LOCAL ATM IN INR Cheesy


Can any question from any government authorities may attract in coming time if purchased BTC from CC/DC? Or is there a limit that you can buy upto a limit from CC/DC outside India during a year?

Income tax Authority can ask question from according to bill pay of credit card. Like you file ITR for 500k and paid bill of CC for more then 500k for buying bitcoin from outside India. Then it will be really hard for you explain.
Who is buying bitcoin worth 500k from india?bitcoin itself is designed to keep its user anonymous and also after demonetisation nobody will even think of making transaction that much for a digital unit.

I just gave example, even if you buy 200-300k and don't file ITR, just wait for notice from Income tax authority. Credit card transaction is too much trackable, and IT Authority always keep eye on that.

Even if you buy directly from your bank then also you have to give detail to the income tax authority so it is better to show in your income tax about the trading details and its profit also and pay tax to be in safer side.

500k is only 5Lacs in INR. So in todays time you will get if 70k per btc around 7 BTC only. So during whole year you wont buy 7 btc from International market? Then whats the point of using the International market?

Convenience in the adoption will vary with countries, however, little care will be needed before ones adoption. I will suggest a period of acceptability for some countries, inquire and consider the transaction fee

DC/CC means paying 4% (Money Polo fee for adding funds via other cards) and 2.5-3% currency conversion fee (INR to USD). This makes it 6.5-7% Let's say I'm thinking of buying one BTC and current price is 1000USD, so I would be paying approximately 1070? Well, not a good deal though.

That's almost the same amount one will find on Local Bit Coins, what's the advantage then?

It is really good news that Bitstamp are allowing other country in that India is included to trade bitcoin using credit / debit card but the problem is they only allow usd or euro currency to be used so the transaction in card will be shown as usd or euro conversion and that will affect forex exchange. So be careful when you are going to use their service as tax problem will come
What tax problem will come ?

yes there will be 2.5% currency conversion for this .

Any reviews so far on using bitstamp from india.

I just got that mail yesterday evening , i am not yet address verified . They ask way too much info to complete that so when i do then i can provide info about it usage .. :/
It is a mandatory in Europe to follow these steps to avoid further confusions and legal struggle that they are collecting every possible details for the verification.It is a good thing but the issue will be the processing fees and the conversion fees which makes selecting Indian exchanges to purchase coins more profitable for the end user as the Indian exchanges usually charge higher fees than the international market.

Well its difficult to address verify in Bitstamp cause as per UK law they do not allow credit card statement as address proof . Instead they ask Physical bank seal marked Bank statement lol .. most of Indian bank just provide e-statements now and most other banks has passbook facility .

But if you want the bank statement with the bank seal mark then you have to go to bank personally and give a letter for physical bank statement with bank seal , it is not a big deal as you can get it immediately from your bank.

Yes, it possible. But you can purchase bitcoin from only trading platform. You buy or sell that platform directly in your choice. Your advantage is you invest in other currency.

Wouldn't the authorities be concerned by we all just start buying bitcoins over internet through cards?

When you use credit cards for FX transactions, it is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with all applicable rules and regulations.
The authorities can scrutinize transactions at any time.

Indeed may be we should wait for someone to shed some light on legal precautions or aspects of it.
