What this triggers
Each conclusion carries the provision it rests on, and how settled that provision is.
The receipt is classified as income from the transfer of a virtual digital asset, taxed at 30% under s.115BBH. The value is determined on the date of credit (2026-06-16) using the open market value method. TDS is applicable at 1% as per s.393(1) [Table: Sl. No. 8(vi)]. No penalty applies if the explanation is bona fide and all material facts are disclosed under s.439(8). Section 115BBH, Income-tax Act, 1961 — carried into the Income-tax Act, 2025
This supply does not meet the conditions for an export of services. Section 2(6), Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017

Not checked: state levies, treaty relief, anything outside Indian law. Where we say no rule was found, we mean within this scope.
What we tried to break
Node 5 (adversarial) was not run for this record. Nothing below was attacked, and nothing here should be read as having survived scrutiny.
This is not tax advice, and it does not make anything compliant. It records what was known at the time and what was not.
The specific valuation method for virtual digital assets is not explicitly provided in the rules, leading to reliance on the open market value method as a general fallback.
The place of supply and the relationship between the supplier and recipient are unknown, which affects the determination of the export status.
Where the law prescribes no method, we do not invent one. That is the whole point.
