What happens if you use crypto to fund a foreign company?
I'm a resident Indian and I want to incorporate a company in Dubai to provide fintech advisory services in UAE. The consultant there has told me that I can incorporate a company in free zone simply by transferring crypto-currency as share capital. What are the tax implications and risks of carrying out such a transaction? Incorporating a company outside India, like in a UAE free zone, does not by itself lead to any direct tax implication in India. However, when the capital contribution is made using cryptocurrency, things change. Under Indian tax law, cryptocurrencies are treated as virtual digital assets (VDAs). So, if you use crypto to subscribe to shares in a foreign company, it qualifies as a transfer of a VDA—which is a taxable event in India. Such transfers attract a flat 30% tax (plus applicable surcharge and cess) on any gains made. Deductions are strictly limited—only the original cost of acquisition can be claimed. No other costs like exchange or transaction fees are allowed. Moreover, if the transaction results in a loss, that loss cannot be set off against other income, nor can it be carried forward. In effect, the loss becomes permanently disallowed for tax purposes. These transactions must be reported under Schedule VDA of your Indian income tax return (ITR). Additionally, since you are acquiring shares in a foreign company, this investment must also be disclosed under Schedule FA (Foreign Assets) in your ITR. Beyond taxation, there are foreign exchange law implications. Under India's FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act) rules, making capital contributions to a foreign company using crypto is not permitted. Even if UAE allows it, doing so from India could mean violating FEMA—potentially leading to penalties and enforcement actions. In summary, while it may seem straightforward to invest in a Dubai company using cryptocurrency, Indian law imposes significant restrictions on such transactions. Harshal Bhuta is partner at P. R.

Abhijeet Bhattacharya slams Diljit Dosanjh amid Sardaar Ji 3 row: ‘Hindustan hamare baap ka hai'
Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya has come down hard on singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, using an old video clip from one of Diljit's concerts to slam him amid all the hate that he is getting for working with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in his latest film Sardaar Ji 3. Also read: Naseeruddin Shah defends Diljit Dosanjh for working with Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3: 'They were awaiting…' Abhijeet Bhattacharya fired on Diljit Dosanjh over Sardaar Ji 3 controversy. During his Dil-Luminati Tour, last year Diljit recited late lyricist Rahat Indori's poem, Kisi ke baap ka Hindustan thodi hai, at one of his concerts. And Abhijeet used the video to slam Diljit. He called out Diljit for his 'kisi ke baap ka Hindustan thodi hai" remark through a post on Instagram. He shared a video including Diljit's clip from the concert and a video from his previous interview. In the video montage, Abhijeet is heard saying, 'Hindustan hamare baap ka hain…Hindustan hamare baap ke baap ke baap ke purvajo ka hain (India belongs to our fathers and our forefathers)". The video ended with a picture of Abhijeet holding the Indian flag with Sare Jahan Se Achha playing in the backdrop. 'Hindustan Hamare BAAP ka hai (India belongs to our fathers),' the singer shared while posting the video. Amid Bajrang Dal protests demanding that Diljit's Indore concert in December be cancelled, the singer dedicated his concert to Urdu poet Rahat Indori. In response to the protests, the singer invoked his ghazal Kisi ke baap ka Hindustan thodi hai (Hindustan isn't anyone's property) at his Dil-Luminati tour concert. The ghazal goes: 'Agar khilaaf hain hone do, Jaan thodi hai. Ye sab dhua hai asmaan thodi hai. sabhi ka khoon hai shaamil yahan ki mitti mein/ kisi ke baap ka Hindustan thodi hai (If they oppose, let them, it's not life at stake. This is just smoke, not the sky at stake. This land has seen sacrifices from everyone/ Hindustan is not anyone's property)'. Diljit slammed for Sardaar Ji 3 Diljit Dosanjh is at the centre of a heated controversy due to the inclusion of Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3 alongside Diljit and Neeru Bajwa. Despite the backlash, the film made its overseas debut on June 27, although it won't be hitting theatres in India. The trailer release of Diljit's film sparked outrage, with some demanding a ban on Diljit and his future projects in India. The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) and Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) have called for a ban on Diljit and all his upcoming projects. The stir comes in the wake of the recent Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, followed by India's Operation Sindoor on May 7, in which air strikes were carried out on terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
