Tax season hits different when you’ve got crypto in the mix. Salary? Straightforward. But throw in trades across three exchanges, some staking rewards, maybe a DeFi position you half-forgot about — and suddenly ITR filing feels like a puzzle with missing pieces. KoinX fixes that by combining your crypto tax report with expert-assisted filing, so you’re not doing this alone at 11pm before the deadline.
The entire ITR filing process with KoinX typically takes around 7 working days — provided your documents are ready and you respond to your expert promptly. The faster you move, the faster it’s done.
Not all income situations are the same, so KoinX offers three plans based on what you’re working with:
Not 100% sure which plan fits? Pick the closest match and purchase it. Your assigned expert will review your income sources during the initial consultation and flag if an upgrade is needed — you’ll only pay the difference, not the full plan price again.

Initial consultation

Your expert will get on a call (or connect over chat) to understand your full income picture — what exchanges you’ve used, whether you’ve earned staking rewards, any F&O exposure, and so on.They’ll also share a document checklist tailored to your situation so you know exactly what to gather next.

Documents to be shared

The documents you need to submit depend on the plan you selected and the income sources included in your filing.The sooner you submit, the sooner your filing moves forward. Delays here are the #1 reason filings take longer than expected.
Best if your income is primarily crypto — trading gains, staking rewards, airdrops.This is the starting point for most crypto-first users.

Documents Needed

  • PAN Card
  • Aadhaar Card
  • Bank Statements (6–12 months)
  • KoinX Crypto Tax Report
  • Income Tax ID details / Previous ITR (if available)
  • Rental Income Proof (if applicable)
  • Other Income Proof (if applicable)
Before this step, make sure all your exchanges and wallets are connected in KoinX and your crypto tax report is complete and accurate. Your expert builds your ITR on top of this data — gaps here create gaps there.

Review your tax computation

Your expert prepares a detailed breakdown of your tax liability — or refund, if you’re lucky. You’ll see exactly how your income is categorised and how much tax is owed.Review this carefully. Ask questions if anything looks off. Don’t approve it until you’re satisfied — this is your last checkpoint before filing.
6

Pay your taxes (if applicable)

If there’s tax payable, your expert walks you through the payment process on the Income Tax portal. Filing can only proceed once payment is confirmed.
Don’t skip or delay tax payment thinking you can do it after filing. The ITR submission won’t go through until any outstanding tax is cleared. Plan for this step in advance.

ITR filed ✅

Your expert submits the ITR to the Income Tax Department. You receive confirmation directly — both from KoinX and from the IT portal.Keep a copy of your acknowledgement (ITR-V) for your records. You’re done for the year.

Understanding Your Filing Status

Once your process is underway, your KoinX dashboard shows a real-time status so you always know where things stand.

🟡 In ProgressExpert assigned, documents being collectedShare all required documents promptly
🟠 Computation SentTax calculation ready, awaiting your reviewReview computation and complete tax payment
🔺 Upgrade NeededCurrent plan doesn’t cover all income sourcesPay the difference to upgrade — your expert will guide you
🟢 DoneITR successfully filedSave your ITR-V acknowledgement for records
⏸ On HoldPending documents or no response from youCheck messages and share required details to resume
❌ Service Not RequiredFiling stopped — you chose not to proceedNo action needed unless you want to restart
If your status shows On Hold, check your KoinX dashboard messages first — your expert has almost certainly left a note on what’s needed. A quick response gets things moving again immediately.

Upgrade Needed: What It Means

Sometimes, users purchase a plan based on what they believe their income sources are. During the review, your expert may identify additional income that is not covered under the selected plan. For example, you may have purchased the Crypto ITR Filing plan, but salary income may also appear in your ITR portal. In such cases:
  • Your status will be marked as Upgrade Needed
  • You’ll need to upgrade to the correct plan
  • You only need to pay the difference amount, not the full plan again
This ensures your ITR is filed correctly without missing any income.

Common Mistakes That Slow Things Down

Most filing delays come down to the same few things. Avoid these and your 7-day timeline stays on track:
  • Starting too late — Expert slots fill up as the deadline approaches. Don’t wait.
  • Incomplete documents — Missing a bank statement or income proof stalls the entire process.
  • Skipping the computation review — Approving without checking is how errors slip through.
  • Incomplete crypto data — If you’ve traded on 4 exchanges but only connected 2 to KoinX, your report is incomplete. Your expert can only file what they can see.
Before you even purchase a plan, spend 20 minutes connecting all your exchanges and wallets in KoinX and generating your crypto tax report. Walking into the consultation with this ready cuts your timeline significantly.
