Yes if you come in any of the tax bracket then you will have to pay tax.

Depends on How much bitcoins you sold.You must ask a qualified CA to help you with your taxable income

It actually will not depend upon his selling because say for example he sold 20 BTC but still went in a loss then  .

It will depend upon his total income including profit from the bitcoin to calculate his taxable income.

Tax treatment for Income from Bitcoins or other crypto currencies is still not clear. Out of 5 heads under which Incomes are analysed, income from crypto currencies can either come in "Capital gains' or from "other sources". However, if we study "other sources" it includes income from trading in foreign currencies which are government regulated. But since crypto currencies are not government regulated so this should not come under "other resources". What remains is "Capital Gain". For analysin income under capital gains there is a provision of "indexing". It deeply explains all theassets which come under capital gains. This include land and property, securities etc. but here as well crytp-currencies are not mentioned. So how these should be treated is unclear.

So, this leaves us in doubt. Some people may not pay tax at all and when IT notice comes they can hire a CA to discuss things with IT department or Tribunals.

I am a Chartered Accountant by the way but this is my frst year of learning about crypto currency, hence I am in doubt as well.
