Broadly, you are a specified person if you have no business or professional income, or your business turnover is under ₹1 crore (₹50 lakh for a profession). If you are unsure, the lower threshold is the cautious choice and is selected by default.
How this works, and what it does not do
What it calculates
- FIFO cost basis. Every sale is matched against your oldest unsold purchases first, per coin, across all the accounts you add.
- 30% plus 4% cess on each winning disposal, worked out separately per trade.
- No set-off. A losing trade never reduces the tax on a winning one — not across coins, not across the year, not into next year.
- 1% TDS once your sale value for the year passes the threshold, treated as a credit against what you owe.
- Transfers between your own accounts are recognised and keep their original cost basis, instead of being taxed as if you had sold.
What it does not do
- Surcharge is not modelled. It depends on your total income across everything, which this tool does not know.
- Futures, perpetuals and options are out of scope. This is a spot ledger. Whether a margined derivative is even a VDA transfer is an open question, and a tool should not answer it for you.
- It does not guess. If a file cannot be read confidently it is refused, and if a sale has no matching purchase you are told which one.
- It is not a Chartered Accountant. Rules change, exports contain errors, and treatment can turn on facts a file does not carry.
