Oh, ho! Gather ’round, dear chaps, for a tale most amusing, yet cautionary, about our friends across the 🌍 in jolly old India. It seems the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), a group of fellows known for their keen interest in the financial shenanigans of others, have taken it upon themselves to enforce rules against those dabbling in the mysterious world of peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto transactions.
Imagine, if you will, a scenario where our intrepid crypto trader, let’s call him Raj 🙋♂️, finds himself in a bit of a pickle. Raj, being the enterprising soul that he is, decided to partake in some P2P transactions sans the proper buyer know-your-customer (KYC) formalities. Now, Raj is no stranger to the high-stakes game of cryptocurrencies, having sold a tidy sum worth 98,500 and pocketing a cool ₹1,500 profit. All was well until the taxman cometh.
Three years post-transaction, Raj received a summons from the income tax department, demanding a princely sum of Rs 78,000 in tax penalties. The reason? His inability to furnish the complete KYC details of his transactional partners. Without such crucial information as the PAN card of his P2P buyers, the tax authorities deemed the entire deposit as undisclosed income, subjecting it to the maximum penalty rate. Oh, the horror! 😱
Koinx founder Punit Agarwal 🤵 chimed in, stating that Raj’s transaction was categorized as an unexplained cash credit, leading to this gargantuan tax penalty. Under the newly amended Income Tax Act, a whopping 70% tax penalty was levied on undisclosed income, thanks to the 2025 budget introduced by none other than Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman 💼.
Our wise tax experts 🧙♂️ advised Indian crypto traders to keep meticulous records of all crypto transactions, including the KYC details of their counterparts. This, they say, is the only way to shield oneself from such monstrous penalties in the future. So, dear readers, let us all learn from Raj’s misfortune and remember to dot our i’s and cross our t’s when it comes to taxes and crypto. After all, one wouldn’t want to face the wrath of the taxman, would one? 😅
