Frequently asked questions
Plain answers about crypto tips, scams, registration and tax in India. Last updated 30 September 2026.
What is CryptoSignals?
CryptoSignals is a free tool from Web3India Technology (Kolkata, India) that checks crypto tips before you trust them. You paste a message, link or screenshot from Telegram, YouTube, Instagram, X, WhatsApp or Facebook. It shows the scam warning signs in the wording and what the coin's real market data looks like. It does not give trading tips.
How can I tell if a crypto tip on Telegram is a scam?
The most common warning signs are promises of huge returns ("10x", "100x"), "guaranteed" or "pakka" profit, pressure to act fast ("only 2 hours left"), "VIP" or "insider" groups, and referral links to unknown exchanges. In the market data, look for a price that has already jumped 50% or more in a day, a sudden volume spike, low liquidity, or a token that is only a few weeks old. The Tip Checker checks all of these in seconds.
What is a pump and dump?
A pump and dump is when a group pushes up the price of a small, thinly traded coin with hype, and the organisers get out at the top. The people who joined late are left holding a coin whose price falls back. Signs include a sudden volume spike, a big price jump before the tip reaches you, and a coin with low liquidity. Our Scanner has a Pump & Dump Radar that highlights these patterns.
What is a honeypot token?
A honeypot is a token whose smart contract lets people put money in but blocks them from trading back out, so only the creator can cash out. Other contract traps are very high trading taxes and owners who can still mint new tokens or freeze wallets. When a tip contains a contract address, CryptoSignals checks it with GoPlus Security and DexScreener. Any honeypot flag makes the result Very high risk.
How do I check if a crypto exchange is registered with FIU-IND?
In India, crypto exchanges that serve Indian users must register with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) as reporting entities. The official list is published at fiuindia.gov.in. Our Is it real? page shows the status we last checked for about 20 exchanges. It also warns about look-alike websites and fake support accounts. Always confirm on the official list before you deposit money.
How is crypto taxed in India?
Gains from crypto (virtual digital assets) are taxed at a flat 30%, plus 4% cess, and a loss on one coin cannot be set off against gains on another (section 115BBH of the Income-tax Act, 1961). 1% TDS applies on transfers above ₹50,000 a year for specified persons, and above ₹10,000 for others (section 194S; section 393(1) of the Income-tax Act, 2025, which applies from 1 April 2026). Our tax & TDS estimator gives a quick estimate in your browser. Confirm your final numbers with a chartered accountant.
Does CryptoSignals give trading tips or signals?
No. We check other people's tips and show you the data. Our technical readings describe what a chart is doing right now (from Strong Bearish to Strong Bullish). They are not forecasts and never tell you to enter or leave a trade. CryptoSignals is an educational and analytical tool, not financial advice.
How does CryptoSignals decide the risk score?
Fixed rules decide the score, not AI. Each wording red flag and each market-data or contract check adds a set number of points, and the total is capped at 100. 0–24 is Low, 25–49 Medium, 50–74 High and 75–100 Very high risk. The full rule list is on How it works.
Is CryptoSignals free?
Yes. The Free plan includes 3 tip checks a day, 5 AI Advisor messages a day and daily readings for the top 20 coins. Paid plans (Starter, Pro and Elite) add more checks, more coins and timeframes, and read-only portfolio tracking. Every paid plan can be tried free for 7 days, once, with no payment details.
What is the Finfluencer Scorecard?
The Finfluencer Scorecard compares what public crypto calls said with what the price actually did 1, 7 and 30 days later, using Binance prices. Users submit public posts, and our team reviews every entry before it appears. We show facts only: no "best" or "fraud" labels, and a hit rate only after 5 calls have a 7-day result.
Is my exchange account safe if I connect it?
We accept only read-only Binance API keys. We check the key's permissions when you connect it, and we refuse any key that can trade, withdraw or transfer. Keys are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and re-checked on every sync. A key that gains extra rights is switched off automatically. We can never move your coins.
Which languages does CryptoSignals support?
The website works in English, Hindi, Hinglish and Arabic. The AI Advisor answers in the language you write in, including Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Malayalam and Urdu, and you can ask by voice in the app.
How do I know a CryptoSignals account is real?
Our only Telegram channel is @CryptoSignals_IN, and all official accounts are listed on Official accounts. CryptoSignals never messages you first, never asks for money, passwords or seed phrases, and never runs "VIP" tip groups. Anyone doing this is not us.
Can I download or delete my data?
Yes. Under India's DPDP Act you can download all your data or delete your account at any time from your account page, or by writing to support@web3india.net. Payment records are kept only as long as tax law requires.
