India INR Premium — FAQ
What is the INR premium?
The INR premium is the percentage difference between crypto prices on Indian exchanges (denominated in INR, converted to USD) vs global USD prices on Binance or OKX. It typically ranges from 0.5%–2% in normal markets and spikes during bull runs.
Is INR premium arbitrage profitable?
Yes, if gross spread exceeds your total fees (trading + withdrawal + gas). You need at least 1.5%–2% gross spread for a positive net profit after India's 30% tax on gains.
Which Indian exchanges show the highest premium?
WazirX P2P market often shows the highest premium (1%–3%) due to slower price discovery. CoinDCX has higher liquidity so premiums are smaller but more consistent.
