    Pay with crypto in India — the how-to guide

    This is the transactional walkthrough for paying with crypto at a UPI merchant in India — scan, pick your asset, sign, done. Looking for the underlying product spec sheet? See CryptoSe features. Converting a lump sum to INR instead of paying a merchant? See USDT to INR.

    Works at every UPI QR

    Any BHIM/UPI QR — kirana, café, hospital, hotel — works out of the box.

    USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH

    Pay with the asset you already hold. Stablecoins recommended for tightest pricing.

    Non-custodial wallet

    Your keys, your crypto. CryptoSe never custodies your funds at any point.

    Sub-minute settlement

    Most retail tickets complete end-to-end in minutes (subject to banking partner availability).

    Tax-ready receipts

    1% TDS deducted (Section 194S), Schedule VDA-ready statement issued automatically.

    Works for NRIs too

    Hold crypto abroad, pay Indian merchants in INR — clean alternative to wires.

    Why pay with crypto in India at all?

    For NRIs, freelancers paid in stablecoins, long-term holders, and travellers carrying crypto instead of cash, the alternative — selling on an exchange and waiting for a bank withdrawal — is slow, expensive, and increasingly fragile. Paying directly with crypto via UPI is faster, keeps you in self-custody until the moment of payment, and produces a clean tax trail.

    CryptoSe is built specifically for this use case in India: one product, one rail, full PMLA-aligned reporting on every single transaction.
