Binance Traders Under Income Tax Scrutiny

  • India cracks down on crypto traders; 400+ high-net-worth individuals face scrutiny as Binance data exposes undeclared offshore profits.

  • Offshore crypto anonymity ends in India; traders urged to reconcile holdings and file ITR-U to avoid penalties under new tax enforcement rules.

India’s tax authorities are intensifying scrutiny on cryptocurrency traders, targeting high-net-worth individuals who allegedly hid profits on offshore exchanges. The Income Tax Department has launched investigations into over 400 traders accused of failing to declare cryptocurrency gains between 2022 and 2025. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has reportedly asked these individuals to submit detailed reports by October 17.

Binance No Longer a Safe Haven for Indian Traders

For years, Indian crypto investors used overseas platforms like Binance to bypass hefty taxes, including a 42% tax on crypto profits and a 1% TDS on each transaction. Offshore wallets were considered “safe” due to perceived anonymity.

However, this era is ending. Binance, registered with India’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) as a reporting entity, can now legally share user transaction data with the government. The result: complete transparency, making it easier for authorities to trace undeclared earnings.

Chartered Accountant Siddharth Banwat explains “The tax department has full authority to issue summons and verify whether crypto gains have been properly reported. Traders who missed disclosures can file updated returns, but this comes with additional tax costs.”

The Hidden Trail of Crypto Money

Investigations reveal several tactics used to disguise crypto profits:

  • Buying USDT (Tether) in India, transferring it to Binance, and swapping it multiple times for Bitcoin or Ethereum without converting back to rupees.
  • Using the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) to transfer funds legally abroad but failing to report these purchases in tax filings.

These omissions violate Foreign Asset (FA) disclosure rules, making the overseas holdings illegal.

Expert Insight: Ashish Karundia notes, “The era of crypto anonymity is ending. Exchange data allows authorities to detect mismatches and uncover hidden income with ease.”

Legal Implications & Penalties

The Income Tax Department now classifies unreported crypto earnings as undisclosed income, applying Section 56(2)(x) of the Income Tax Act. Failure to declare these assets may lead to:

  • Penalties under Section 270A
  • Prosecution under the Black Money Act, carrying heavy fines and potential jail time

Traders are advised to reconcile their crypto holdings and file updated ITR-U returns to avoid escalating enforcement actions.

Step-by-Step: How Traders Can Comply

  • Check transaction history on all exchanges, including Binance.
  • Calculate total gains between 2022–2025, including swaps and transfers.
  • File an updated ITR-U if gains were previously unreported.
  • Consult a tax professional for penalty estimation and planning.
  • Ensure LRS compliance if funds were sent abroad for crypto purchases

Crypto Market Update: Signs of Recovery

Despite regulatory pressure, the global crypto market is showing signs of a rebound:

  • Total market capitalization: $3.89 trillion (up 8.42% in 24 hours)
  • Daily trading volume: $262.28 billion

This renewed activity suggests that investors are returning after recent turbulence, but the Indian crackdown may affect offshore trading behavior.
