Dear Experts
Kindly guide me on the following practical issue:
1. Both concerns are sole proprietorships owned by different family members and have separate GST Registrations.
2. The proprietorship holding the physical stock filed its ITR for FY 2025-26 under section 44AD. In the balance sheet section of the ITR, all columns were reported as Nil, except Cash. The Trade Name of Business was not mentioned in the ITR. Further, the GST Turnover reflected in AIS/TIS was not separately reported in the ITR, although the turnover declared in the ITR exceeds the GST Turnover reflected in AIS/TIS.
3. During FY 2026-27, the proprietor intends to transfer the existing physical stock to the other family owned proprietorship concern.
Query:
Can the physical stock be transferred to the other proprietorship despite the above reporting position in the earlier ITR? If yes, what is the appropriate procedure under the applicable GST and Income Tax laws?
Kinly provide your expert opinion.
Thank you.

**Query: Taxation of Crypto Futures in India (FY 2026–27)**

I am an Indian resident planning to trade BTC/ETH perpetual futures on:

1. **Binance Global:** USDT-settled futures.
2. **Delta Exchange India:** INR-settled futures.

My main question is whether I can pay income tax on **net annual trading profit after adjusting eligible losses, trading fees and funding charges**, instead of paying 30% tax under the VDA regime.

Please clarify:

1. Are cash-settled crypto futures taxable as business/speculative income or under the 30% VDA tax regime?
2. Can winning and losing futures trades be netted for tax purposes?
3. Does receiving profits in USDT make the futures profit taxable under VDA rules? Is converting USDT into INR a separate taxable event?
4. Is Delta Exchange's INR settlement treated differently from Binance's USDT settlement?
5. What is the legally correct tax treatment, with relevant sections or circulars, for FY 2026–27?

I would appreciate a concise answer from a CA familiar with crypto derivatives. Thank you.

Dear Sir

I have undisclosed account in ICBC bank China with around 21960 CNY since 2018 and currently it could be dormant. It was opened anticipating some potential business but not materialized due to COVID etc. However, now received SMS from IT system to utilize FAST DS26 scheme till Dec26. I have checked in compliance portal and see the account reflecting with balance of 21850 CNY and interest of around 110CNY for CY 2022 & 2023 ie total of around Rs 314,500. I have accepted the amounts in compliance portal. Now my query is should I utilize the FAST DS26 and pay Rs 189000 ie 60% of total balance as tax or will the Rs 20 lakh immunity protect me from 120% levy if I dont avail the scheme. I will have to consider the entire amount as income as the current account is dormant, i dont have any bank statements as of now and will not be able to show source etc as is very old and not sure if ICBC will share statements without reactivation of account etc. The deposits was by way of sale of samples I was carrying during that time. I have been resident all through. Please advise.

Dear Experts
I had salary and business income in FY 2023-24, so I filed ITR4 and submitted form 10IEA for opting old regime .
In FY 2024-25, I had only salary income. So I opted new regime without submitting form 10IEA.
In FY 2025-26, I had salary and business income again. So I filed ITR4 continuing new regime as I opted it last year. But income tax department now seeking a clarification for not submitting form 10IEA again this year. They are saying that this year income will be treated as per old regime since business income is there.
I am hopefully looking for your kind advice about how to respond to this query.

I have a taxable turnover of Rs. 97,00,000/- for the month of August 2026, which is an intra-state supply taxable at 18% GST. Under the current GST rules including Section 49, Rule 86B, and Rule 87, how much tax am I required to pay in cash and how much can be adjusted against Input Tax Credit (ITC)? Kindly clarify the applicability of the 1% minimum cash payment rule in my case.
