India's cryptocurrency tax review exposes approximately $930 million in undeclared income, with a comprehensive strengthening of itemized reporting and cross-platform verification for the 2026 tax season

As India's tax enforcement intensifies, cryptocurrency investors face stricter reporting and compliance requirements in the 2026 tax season, with incorrect declarations potentially triggering fines and audits. Reports indicate that under current rules, cryptocurrency gains are still subject to a 30% uniform capital gains tax, and a 1% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is levied on transactions exceeding a certain amount, while losses cannot be offset across assets. The new Income Tax Act (2025) came into effect on April 1, 2026, but the core tax framework remains largely unchanged.In terms of reporting, investors must fill out a dedicated Schedule VDA section in the ITR-2 or ITR-3 forms and are required to record each transaction individually, including all operations such as trading, exchanging, transferring, and clearing, rather than just summarizing gains. The report emphasizes that regulatory focus has clearly escalated. The Indian tax authorities will directly obtain user-level transaction data through trading platforms, custodians, and wallet service providers, and will automatically cross-check this with reported information; discrepancies will trigger system flags and audits.Data shows that the Indian tax authorities have issued over 44,000 notices and discovered approximately 88.8 billion rupees (about 930 million USD) in unreported virtual asset income. Meanwhile, the tax department is enhancing its tracking capabilities by combining on-chain analysis tools with international data-sharing mechanisms. Additionally, starting in 2027, India will align with the OECD cryptocurrency reporting framework to achieve automatic exchange of cross-border transaction data, and overseas exchange holdings will gradually come under regulatory scrutiny.Analysis points out that common errors include misuse of reporting forms, omission of airdrop and staking income, and failure to correctly match 1% TDS records, among others. The report emphasizes that cryptocurrency tax compliance is shifting from "post-reporting" to "real-time traceability," and investors need to strengthen year-round record management.

Next week's macro outlook: Waller's "debut" is approaching, and the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision

Next week, the market focus will be on the interest rate decisions of several major central banks, including the Federal Reserve. Since taking office as the new chairman of the Federal Reserve, Waller has remained silent, and the press conference following the June interest rate decision will be a key validation of his monetary policy stance. The market also expects him to send clear signals regarding communication mechanism reforms. Here are the key points the market will focus on in the new week (all times are in Beijing time):Monday 15:15, European Central Bank President Lagarde will deliver a speech;Tuesday TBD, the Bank of Japan will announce its interest rate decision; 14:30, Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Uchida Shinichi will hold a monetary policy press conference;Tuesday 20:15, U.S. ADP employment change for the week ending May 30;Thursday 2:00, the Federal Reserve FOMC will announce its interest rate decision and economic projections summary; 2:30, Federal Reserve Chairman Waller will hold a monetary policy press conference;Thursday 20:30, U.S. initial jobless claims for the week ending June 13, U.S. June Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index.In terms of policy signals, the market is focused on whether three hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve will materialize: first, whether the wording "the next step is likely to be a rate cut" will be removed from the original policy statement. If this wording is removed, it means the Federal Reserve officially ends its previous easing bias and shifts to a policy tone centered on combating inflation. Second, changes in the dot plot; the March dot plot indicated one more rate cut within the year, but this dot plot is likely to shift to show stable rates, and there may even be a situation where a majority of officials expect rate hikes. Finally, there is a tilt in risk preference. If officials' concerns about inflation significantly increase and worries about the labor market diminish, it may pave the way for subsequent rate hikes.On Friday (June 19), due to the Juneteenth holiday, the New York Stock Exchange will be closed for one day. Trading in precious metals, energy, foreign exchange, stock index, and U.S. Treasury futures contracts on the CME will end early at 01:00 Beijing time on the 20th, and trading in Brent crude oil futures contracts on the Intercontinental Exchange will end early at 01:30 Beijing time on the 20th.
