#### **Option 1: Sell on a Crypto Exchange (Fast & Easy)**  

- **Recommended Indian Exchanges:**

  - **ZebPay** ([zebpay.com](https://zebpay.com))

#### **Option 2: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Selling (No TDS, but Risky)**  

- Platforms: **Binance P2P, WazirX P2P, LocalBitcoins**  

- **⚠️ Caution**: Only trade with **verified merchants**, use escrow, and avoid scams.

### **📌 Step 2: Transfer Bitcoin to the Exchange (if not already there)**  

1. **Copy your exchange BTC deposit address** (from "Deposit Crypto" section).  

2. **Send BTC from your private wallet** (e.g., Trust Wallet, Ledger).  

3. **Wait for confirmations** (usually 3-6 network confirmations, ~10-30 mins).  


---


### **📌 Step 3: Sell Bitcoin for INR**  

1. **Go to "Sell" or "BTC/INR" trading pair**.  

2. Choose:  

   - **Market Sell** (instant sale at current price).  

   - **Limit Sell** (set your desired price, better for large amounts).  

3. **Confirm the sale** (check fees ~0.1%-0.5%).  


---


### **📌 Step 4: Withdraw INR to Your Bank Account**  

1. **Link your bank account** (if not already done).  

2. **Request withdrawal** (IMPS/NEFT/RTGS, usually takes 5-30 mins).  

3. **1% TDS will be deducted** (exchanges handle this automatically).  


---


### **📌 Step 5: File Taxes (Mandatory in India)**  

- **30% Tax** on profits (if sold at a gain).  

- **1% TDS** is already deducted, but you must report trades in **ITR**.  

- Use **Crypto tax tools** like **KoinX, CoinTracker, or Binance Tax** for easy reporting.  


---


### **⚠️ Risks & Pro Tips**  

✅ **Avoid P2P chargeback scams** (use exchanges for safety).  

✅ **Check withdrawal fees** (some exchanges charge for INR withdrawals).  

❌ **Don’t sell during extreme volatility** (price swings can be drastic).  

💡 **Time your sale** (check Bitcoin price trends before selling).

### **Best for Large Amounts?**  

- Use **limit orders** to avoid slippage.  

- Split sales into smaller chunks for better pricing.
