About Indefi
Crypto decoded. For India.
Indefi is an independent publication for Indian crypto users, from people buying their first token to DeFi natives. We explain how crypto, DeFi and airdrops work, and what Indian tax and policy rules mean for you.
Why we exist
Most crypto content is either hype or written for other countries. Indian investors face a 30% tax, 1% TDS, no loss set-off, frozen bank accounts from P2P trades, and scams aimed squarely at them. Clear, India-first answers are hard to find. Indefi is built to fix that.
What you’ll find here
- Guides on buying, storing and using crypto safely, from wallets to your first DEX swap.
- Tax help for filing crypto in your ITR: Schedule VDA, TDS refunds, advance tax and notices.
- Free tools like the crypto tax calculator and TDS refund estimator.
- News on exchange incidents and rule changes, with what to do next.
- Key guides in हिन्दी, because crypto in India isn’t only in English.
How we work
- We check tax and legal claims against primary sources such as the Income-tax Act, CBDT circulars and official portals, and list them at the end of each guide.
- We say clearly when the law is unsettled instead of guessing.
- We never tell you what to buy or sell. Indefi is educational, not investment or tax advice.
- We update guides when the rules change, and show when each one was last checked.
