If you’re staring at three ITR plans wondering “which one do I even need?” — you’re not alone. Most crypto users don’t just have crypto anymore. There’s a bit of salary, maybe some F&O trades, maybe even stocks. Pick the wrong plan, and you risk missing income or filing incorrectly. Let’s fix that.

​
Compare ITR Filing Plans

Here’s a clear breakdown so you don’t overpay — or worse, under-report.
Best for: Crypto-only users with basic incomeThis is the simplest option. If you don’t have salary, F&O, or stock activity, you don’t need anything more.
If you’ve only traded crypto and maybe earned some staking rewards or interest — this is all you need. Don’t overcomplicate it.

​
Covers

  • Crypto trading gains
  • Staking rewards
  • Airdrops
  • Basic income sources (if any)

​
Does NOT cover

  • Salary income
  • Futures & Options (F&O)
  • Stocks or mutual funds
  • Business income

​
How to Choose (Without Overthinking It)

Let’s simplify this.
1

Check your income sources

Think about everything you earned this year — not just crypto. Salary? F&O? Stocks? Freelancing?
2

Match it to the plan

  • Only crypto + basic income → Crypto ITR Filing
  • Salary (1 employer) + crypto/F&O → Salary ITR Filing
  • Anything more complex → Comprehensive ITR Filing
3

When in doubt, go higher

If you’re stuck between two plans, pick the higher one. It’s better than missing income and fixing it later.
Choosing a lower plan than required can lead to incomplete filing — which may result in notices or incorrect tax calculations.

​
Before You File (Don’t Skip This)

No matter which plan you choose — this step is non-negotiable.
