[01:56] So that is called crypto gain. You have to pay 30% tax on that gain. So how much will you have to pay for Rs 1 lakh? 300 will be your tax and you will have to pay 1% TDS on each transaction. So whatever
[02:10] transaction you do, there will be 1% TDS on every transaction. And to do all this you have KYC mandatory. So it is necessary for you to do KYC. Let's move on. Now I am telling you how to do it. So first of all here is the
[02:26] link in the description of the video. From where you will install and download the Coincx application. After downloading the installer, After this you have to complete KYC.
[02:40] This takes a little more time. Isn't it ? For this, PAN card, Aadhar card, your selfie verification, account verification, all these things have to be done. It takes a little time. How to do it? You may face problem in this. So I have made a video dedicated to this.

[03:19] I have also made a video on how funds are added. You will find it on the channel or in the Coin ACX playlist. So after seeing it you can use it easily. Apart from this, you get multiple options in it. UPI is
[03:32] available, MPS is available, net banking is available. Basically, the option of PhonePe and Google Pay is available in UPI. So it is very easy to deposit funds. Isn't it? And let's say you deposit the funds. Now that you have money, you have to

[05:32] lakh may become ₹100. This can happen if the volatility is very high. The volatility is very high on both the upside and downside. You have to keep this thing in mind. What is the current situation in the crypto market? I
[05:46] in the crypto market? I think approximately 40 to 45% correction has happened in the stock crypto market. Many coins have already seen a correction of 40 to 45%.
[05:58] you can buy according to me but it is not necessary that it will be right for you also. your risk appetite is like. Can you take more risk or not? It Can you take more risk or not? It
[06:12] So if you think that you can forget the money, you will invest that money in it. It Also, whatever investment you make, do invested a lot of money in Bitcoin. Invested lakhs of rupees only
[06:27] in Bitcoin. So if there is no diversification then the risk increases. So you should invest the money in two, three or four coins and whenever you invest money, invest it in big coins. Do not use small coins. There are many web coins available. They are very risky. The money will be
[06:40] lost immediately, do not invest in it. Isn't it? And it is written in it that you should invest only that amount of money which you can bear to lose. Otherwise try to stay away and
[06:52] also set price alerts and targets so that you know when to get out of here. I would like to tell you one thing here. You will also have to pay tax compliance. For that, you have to maintain the record of your buy-sell transactions.
[07:06] transactions. Also, whatever profit or loss you make from this, when you file ITR yearly, do not forget to mention that too. There are some basic
[07:18] things that I wanted to tell you about. So I hope I have told you almost everything. I would like to tell you one thing again. It is a very volatile market. It is a very risky market. So, without prior knowledge and research, do
