Nice initiative

Looks like a draw. But Aussies are playing with the intent to win. I would say it ain't over until Smith and Marnus say so. I am rooting for Australia.

That's true! Steve is a powerful hitter. His huge sixes are there on YouTube.

Steve will be sending me some pictures of the event soon, I will upload a couple of those when received. Here are the videos of the stadiums that I captured on my mobile:

1. Wankhede, Mumbai: https://streamable.com/g7bpnb. This is the match Steve invited me to. We had the seats in Grand Stand, one of the best locations to watch the match in Wankhede: straight boundaries and the whole stadium view. Even though the seating capacity is just little over 30K, Wankhede is among the top 3 stadiums in India when it comes to the crowd experience.



2. Kotla, Delhi: https://streamable.com/jnfw3z. I watched this game a day prior to Wankhede game. This is the home ground of Delhi (the team in blue) but you can see that 90% of the audience is wearing yellow. Can you guess the reason? The answer is: 'Our Beloved Captain Cool MS Dhoni'. This man has stature equal to what Messi or Ronaldo have in World football, even more for Indians. Delhi is 2200km away from Chennai but still everyone is cheering CSK for a single person.

I watch football but I'm not a fan of Indian football. I don't follow ISL. ISL is not very famous in North India as compared to other parts of India. I am an avid fan of Barcelona and Messi in particular. I haven't watched football live in stadium yet but planning a trip to Camp Nou in winters if Messi miraculously makes a return to Barca in the upcoming season.

Game 1:  48, 8'
Game 2:  48, 51'
Game 3:  48, 63'

2. Round 9
3. 6

Haha, I have my liver to blame for that. I am diagnosed with a liver condition and advised not to take alcoholic drinks. But booze or not, it was really nice meeting you. It was wonderful getting to know about sportsbet.io, your efforts promoting cricket in Europe and all the amazing people associated with the business.

The game was amazing. A high scoring encounter. I have been a SRH fan for several years now so it was a bittersweet experience for me, nonetheless, hearing 30K Mumbai fans roaring every time they hit six surely gave goosebumps. And ofcourse, the innings from Green was spectacular.

But nothing could match the joy of meeting Brett Lee. All those India-Aussie encounter memories from the childhood came pouring out and I was overwhelmed. The event was fun, the food was good and that tequila sequence was epic!

Thanks for the opportunity. I will be glad to meet-up anytime soon.


Haha, I better not dox myself but let me find some good ones to share from my gallery.

I wonder who that might be?  Haha, looking forward to meet you soon Steve!

I have explained two types of crypto incomes in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5448950.msg62095602#msg62095602. If your crypto income comes under the ambit of Section 115BBH then no deductions are allowed except the cost of acquistion, hence, deductions under Chapter VI-A (80G is a part of this) are also not allowed.

But if your crypto income is not taxable under section 115BBH then it will become a part of your regular total income and you can claim deduction for donations u/s 80G. However, there is another catch: the new regime doesn't allow any deduction u/s 80G so if you are paying taxes under new tax law then donations isn't helpful for you. Do consider this factor before doing the tax planning.

Haha, thanks for the welcome! Bitcointalk has been always my first love in crypto and indeed it's a pleasure to contribute on the forum and let me assure you that the campaigns aren't something that induce me to be more active on the forum. That's why I always look to join campaigns with no minimum post so I don't just write posts for the sake of reaching minimum condition. 


Good point. It is always better to use the standard mediums and avoid any possibility of compliance mistake. The prominent Indian Exchanges have properly implemented TDS structure and better to use those if the amount isn't big.

---

The ITR form takes into consideration many things. The things like multiple house properties, capital gains and/or business income have implications on the choice of ITR. So like you said, it's always best to consult a CA or a tax consultant before filing the income tax return.

Yes, both incomes will be taxed as per the normal tax slabs but remember, don't directly add the campaign earnings to your salary from the full time job. Both will be shown under separate heads. 

1% TDS will be applicable on the total $7000. This is very important point. I missed it in my post above. When you sell crypto on Exchanges, the whole amount is considered as the transfer. So while showing the amount of consideration u/s 115BBH, you are required to show the whole amount $7000 but you can show $5000 as the cost of acquisition, hence the net amount chargeable to tax u/s 115BBH will be $2000.

I don't think that the government is in hurry to ban or regulate cryptocurrencies anymore. By bringing the crypto trading under the harsh taxation rules last year, they have already curbed the Indian crypto market effectively. I haven't read the state of affairs of the Indian Exchanges for the financial year 2022-23 but I'm not very optimistic. I am estimating a drop of 80% in trading activity in comparison to FY 2021-22.

If you hear the recent statements from the government ministers and officials, you will notice that the narrative has changed. Till 2021, the government was proactive in banning or controlling the crypto. But since last year, you will see that they are deviating the topic by citing the need of international collaboration due to the possibility of regulatory arbitrage. They know that the market is effectively dead by their absurd tax rates and TDS requirements that they don't have to do anything proactively anymore. Cryptocurrency Bill which was listed under the agenda for Parliament in 2021 is no more on the schedules this year.

The article is indeed correct. After going through several discussions and talking with various experts, I'm finally certain about the language of Section 115BBH. It only deals with the trading income. If you are earning crypto from any other activity, it doesn't come under the ambit of Section 115BBH. However, such other activities give rise to two taxable events. Let's take an example to make it more clear:

One of the items in the table above is 'Getting paid in crypto' which includes campaign payment on the forum. Suppose a participant receives $100 weekly in BTC but doesn't immediately sells it. Finally, he sells his annual income after 50 weeks which should be $5000 in BTC but due to the fluctuation in the prices of BTC, it stands at $7000. It is clear that $5K out of $7K is an earning from the campaign but $2K is the profit from speculation. Hence, $5000 at USDT/INR rate on the date of sale will be taxed as per normal taxable rates whereas $2000 at USDT/INR rate will be taxable at 30% under section 115BBH.

Thanks for compiling these threads @BlackBoss_. It's been a while since I last wrote a detailed thread. I think it was a good idea to do technical threads on Bitcoin in a relatively simpler way in the Beginners' section. I will start doing this again as Bitcoin had some major improvements in the last 3 years.

Also I was going through the threads and it seems like I have included some less researched stuff in those. I will edit these and make the threads more technically correct while keeping those easier to understand at the same time.

Haha, thanks @famososMuertos to bump this up and remind us of the good old days. The lockdown had been a blessing in disguise in some ways. Playing poker with the fellow Bitcointalk members was surely one of the highlights of my lockdown memories. Is Betnomi planning another tournament? It's been a while since the last one. Looks like Sorsis and Betnomi are doing good on the forum. I would like to join it if it suits my schedule.
