Crypto TDS refund estimator.
Exchanges cut 1% TDS on every sale, even at a loss. See how much of it you can claim back.
Why so many crypto investors are owed a refund
TDS is 1% of what you sell for, not of what you earn. If you trade often, or sell at a loss, the TDS deducted can easily be more than your actual tax. The difference is refunded, but only if you file an ITR and claim it.
How to claim it
Check your crypto TDS in your AIS and Form 26AS, report your trades in Schedule VDA, and make sure the TDS appears in your return. Step-by-step: how crypto TDS works and how to get it back and how to fill Schedule VDA.

Why don’t my losses reduce the tax?
India doesn’t allow crypto losses to be set off, even against other crypto gains. Read why.
