Products documented on 26 Oct 2026
FIU-IND registration covers anti-money-laundering reporting under the PMLA. It is not product approval, a SEBI licence, deposit insurance or a guarantee against loss. What registration means
Who can use it
Residency and age conditions as published by the provider, not as assumed.
Not yet documented by the research desk. We do not fill eligibility from marketing copy; until it is checked, treat it as unknown.
Expert Verdict
IndependentBuyUcoin is one of India's early exchanges and states FIU-IND registration (evidence status tracked above), offering INR trading across a range of coins. It is a functional option for Indian users, though its scale and liquidity are smaller than top-tier platforms.
Products, one segment at a time
Spot, futures, options, staking, Earn and SIP are different products with different operators, settlement and withdrawal rules. A notice or tax policy for one segment says nothing about another.

PAN plus one accepted identity document is the baseline. Aadhaar is one option, not the only one. How FIU-IND KYC works
How crypto tax and TDS apply (pick the period)
Tax Year 2026-27 (current)
Income-tax Act, 2025 · Applies to transfers from 1 April 2026
- Income from transfer
- Section 194(1), Table item 4
- TDS
- Section 393(1), Table item 8(vi); thresholds in section 393(4)
- Deductor filing
- Form 141, Schedule D (specified individual/HUF deductors only)
For TDS the applicable law follows the date of the credit or payment, not the date you file.
30%
Tax on income from VDA transfers
Income from transferring a virtual digital asset is taxed at 30%, plus applicable surcharge and cess. Only the cost of acquisition is deductible. Losses from one VDA cannot be set off against other income or other VDAs, or carried forward. Moving rupees to your bank is not itself a taxable event; the transfer of the asset is.
1% TDS
Withholding on applicable transfers
1% of the consideration (not the profit) is withheld on applicable VDA transfers once annual thresholds are crossed: Rs 50,000 for qualifying individuals and HUFs, Rs 10,000 for other payers. These thresholds are not tax-free profit allowances. TDS is a credit against your final tax when reported correctly. An Indian exchange usually deducts it; on other routes the payer may have to.
Separate
Fees, withholding and final tax are different things
Exchange trading fees are the platform's charge. TDS is tax withheld and credited to you. Your final liability is worked out when you file. Keep gross sale value, fees, withholding and net proceeds separately in your records and reconcile them against the exchange's TDS report.
This explanation is informational and has not yet been signed off by a named chartered accountant. Swaps, own-wallet transfers, gifts, rewards, staking, airdrops, mining, derivatives and cross-border situations need individual advice. A provider's FAQ describes that provider's practice, not an authoritative tax classification.
Custody and security

Not yet documented by the research desk. We do not fill custody arrangements from marketing copy; until it is checked, treat it as unknown.
FIU-IND registration is not deposit insurance and does not protect against exchange failure.
