Complete KYC, add INR through UPI apps like Google Pay or by bank transfer, and buy SHIB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide walks through the steps, wallet and network basics, tax rules and the questions people ask most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Shiba Inu (SHIB)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shiba Inu is a memecoin that started as an ERC-20 token on <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/what-is-geth-in-blockchain-geth-explained\/\">Ethereum<\/a> and has since grown an ecosystem around it, including its own layer 2 network, Shibarium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th><\/th><th>Detail<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Ticker<\/td><td>SHIB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Blockchain<\/td><td>Ethereum (ERC-20); also bridged to Shibarium<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Circulating supply<\/td><td>About 589.2 trillion SHIB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Shibarium<\/td><td>Layer 2 network that went live in August 2023 after a failed first launch<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Supply reduction<\/td><td>Ongoing token burns, though they have not meaningfully changed circulating supply<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shibarium has had a rough stretch. It suffered a major security breach in September 2025, and the team later launched &#8220;Shib Owes You&#8221; NFTs to track and compensate affected users. The 2026 roadmap centres on a privacy upgrade built with cryptography firm Zama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because one SHIB costs a fraction of a paisa, you will always buy SHIB in large quantities. Check the live rate on the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/converter\/shib\/inr\">SHIB to INR converter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Buy Shiba Inu on Mudrex?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are wondering where to buy SHIB in India, pick an exchange registered with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) that lets you fund in rupees from your own bank account. Mudrex is FIU-registered, accepts UPI and NEFT\/RTGS, and lets you buy Shiba Inu coin from \u20b9100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Create your account and complete KYC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download the Mudrex app and sign up with your phone number and email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verify both with the OTPs sent to you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete KYC with your PAN and Aadhaar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Add INR the way that suits you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tap <strong>Add INR<\/strong>, enter the amount and tap <strong>Continue to Pay<\/strong>. Then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Paying with Google Pay, PhonePe or Paytm:<\/strong> choose UPI, pick your app and approve the payment. Funds usually reflect within minutes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Moving a larger amount:<\/strong> Choose bank transfer, copy the Mudrex beneficiary details into your banking app, send the exact amount via NEFT or RTGS, and tap <strong>I have transferred<\/strong>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whichever you use, pay from the bank account linked to your Mudrex profile. Transfers from any other account are refunded within 7 to 14 working days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Buy SHIB<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tap the search bar and type <strong>Shiba Inu<\/strong> or <strong>SHIB<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the coin page and tap <strong>Buy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pick your approach:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>One-time<\/strong> if you want to buy SHIB with INR in a single order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recurring<\/strong> if you would rather put in a fixed amount on a schedule, like a SIP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the amount in INR, review the order and tap <strong>Continue<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"90250\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mudrex.intranet\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6499-503x1024.jpg\" alt=\"how to buy shiba inu\" class=\"wp-image-90250\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6499-503x1024.jpg 503w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6499-147x300.jpg 147w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6499-768x1562.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6499-1007x2048.jpg 1007w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6499-755x1536.jpg 755w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6499-150x305.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6499.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"507\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"90252\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mudrex.intranet\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6500-507x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-90252\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6500-507x1024.jpg 507w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6500-768x1549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6500-149x300.jpg 149w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6500-1015x2048.jpg 1015w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6500-761x1536.jpg 761w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6500-150x303.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6500.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"502\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"90251\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mudrex.intranet\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6501-502x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-90251\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6501-502x1024.jpg 502w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6501-147x300.jpg 147w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6501-768x1565.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6501-1004x2048.jpg 1004w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6501-753x1536.jpg 753w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6501-150x306.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6501.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SHIB you bought appears in your portfolio once the order fills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checklist before you confirm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The token is Shiba Inu (SHIB), not a copycat with a similar name or logo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The INR amount is at least \u20b9100 and is money you can afford to lose<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have checked the trading fee shown on the order screen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have chosen one-time or recurring on purpose<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Risk note:<\/strong> SHIB is a highly volatile memecoin and trades far below its October 2021 all-time high.

Union Budget 2026 left these unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>30% on gains:<\/strong> a flat rate plus applicable surcharge and cess, regardless of your income slab. Only the cost of acquisition can be deducted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1% TDS:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/tds-on-cryptocurrency-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deducted when you sell on an exchange<\/a>, credited against your PAN and claimable when you file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No loss offset:<\/strong> a loss on SHIB cannot be set off against other income or carried forward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Budget 2026 also added penalties, from April 1, 2026, for platforms that fail to file or misreport crypto transaction statements. Your trades are reported, so keep your own records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can estimate your liability with the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/crypto-tax-calculator-india\">Mudrex crypto tax calculator<\/a>. This is general information, not tax advice. Check your situation with a chartered accountant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To buy Shiba Inu coin in India, pick an FIU-registered exchange, fund it from your own bank account and place the order. On Mudrex, that means KYC, Add INR through UPI or bank transfer, and a one-time or recurring SHIB buy from \u20b9100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SHIB is a memecoin with price swings, and the 30% tax plus 1% TDS on sales cut into any gains. Size your position accordingly, and if you move SHIB off the platform, match the network and test with a small amount first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-dual-button  root-eb-button-group-5rjpl\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-button-group-5rjpl \"><div class=\"eb-button-group-wrapper eb-button-group-5rjpl button-1\" data-id=\"eb-button-group-5rjpl\"><div class=\"eb-button-inner-wrapper \"><a class=\"eb-button-anchor eb-button-one \" href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/coins\/shiba-inu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><div class=\"eb-button-text eb-button-one-text\">Buy SHIB <\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"eb-button-group__midldeInner\"><span>OR<\/span><\/div><div class=\"eb-button-inner-wrapper \"><a class=\"eb-button-anchor eb-button-two \" href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/futures\/SHIB1000USDT\/0196f295-a120-7cfa-b541-c31ddab88b0b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><div class=\"eb-button-text eb-button-two-text\">Trade SHIBUSDT<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to buy SHIB in India?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sign up on an FIU-IND registered exchange such as Mudrex, complete KYC, add INR via UPI or bank transfer, search SHIB and place a buy order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I buy Shiba Inu?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can buy Shiba Inu (SHIB) on Mudrex for as little as Rs. 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it legal to buy Shiba Inu in India?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.
