INR deposits carry no Mudrex fee, so this is also the simplest way to purchase Bitcoin using bank transfer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Find BTC and check the price.<\/strong> Search for Bitcoin (BTC), then check the live BTC\/INR rate, 24-hour price change and volume. Check liquidity and the spread too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Place your order.<\/strong> A market order fills immediately at the best available price; a limit order waits for the price you set.

If you are still deciding how to buy Bitcoin in India without timing the market, a <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/crypto-sip\">crypto SIP<\/a> buys fixed amounts daily, weekly or monthly from \u20b9100.

Critics point to the price swings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other flags:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No cash flow.<\/strong> Bitcoin pays no dividend or interest, so its price rests on demand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A cap is not a floor.<\/strong> Scarcity does not stop the price falling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Custody risk.<\/strong> Lost recovery phrases and fake wallet apps cause permanent losses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone weighing how to buy Bitcoin in India should read this section before step one.

The structure has not changed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>30% flat tax plus 4% cess<\/strong> on gains from selling, swapping or spending BTC (Section 115BBH); only the cost of acquisition is deductible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1% TDS<\/strong> (Section 194S) on transfers above \u20b950,000 a year, or \u20b910,000 for certain users. Mudrex deducts it on spot sells, not buys; it is adjustable against your final tax.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No set-off:<\/strong> a BTC loss cannot reduce other gains or be carried forward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For transfers from 1 April 2026 these provisions sit under the Income-tax Act, 2025; check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incometax.gov.in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Income Tax Department&#8217;s portal<\/a> for current section numbers.
