Important. Educational content, not investment advice. Rules on taxes, remittances and which products Indian residents may use change — always confirm the current position with the RBI, SEBI, the income-tax department or a qualified professional. Markets can lose money, and crypto in particular is volatile and lightly regulated. See the disclaimer. Spotted an error? Email marketdekho01@gmail.com.
