Buy Ankr Coin in INR at ₹ Loading price...

Yes. Ankr (ANKR) is treated as a Virtual Digital Asset under the Income-tax Act, so buying, holding, and selling are allowed, though it is not legal tender. India regulates crypto as a taxable, speculative asset, and platforms serving Indian users must be registered with FIU-IND under anti-money-laundering rules.

To buy Ankr coin for the first time, sign up on CoinDCX, complete KYC with your PAN and Aadhaar, deposit INR through UPI or IMPS, then open the ANKR market and confirm your order. Most first-time buyers complete all four steps on the same day.

Add INR to your CoinDCX account by choosing UPI as the payment method, entering the amount, and approving the request in your UPI app. Once the balance reflects, open the ANKR market, enter your INR amount, and confirm. UPI deposits are usually credited within minutes.

You do not need to buy a whole ANKR, which has a very low unit price. It supports fractional investing, so a small INR order buys many tokens. The exact per-order minimum is shown on CoinDCX order screen before you confirm.

Yes. Because ANKR has a very low unit price, ₹100 buys a large number of tokens. Open the app, search for Ankr, tap Buy, enter the rupee amount, and confirm. The order fills at the live rate shown on screen.

ANKR trades directly against the rupee on FIU-IND registered Indian exchanges, so no stablecoin conversion is needed. Judge any venue on three points: FIU-IND registration under the PMLA, a direct INR pair, and published custody practices such as cold storage and Proof of Reserves.

Buying and holding ANKR is not taxed. Selling or swapping your tokens triggers a flat 30% tax plus 4% cess on profits, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.2% under the Income-tax Act, 2025. Additionally, a 1% TDS is deducted from the total trade value upon transfer under Section 393(1) of the Act. Crypto losses cannot be set off against other income. Report gains in Schedule VDA and confirm your position with a chartered accountant.

Ankr stands out for being real, widely-used Web3 infrastructure with genuine token utility and a long track record since 2019. Against that, its staking side was hacked in 2022, its value depends on continued usage, it faces heavy competition, and it trades well below its past high. This makes it a higher-risk asset, so weigh both sides against your own goals and risk tolerance, and treat any decision as your own.

Apps built on blockchains need a constant, reliable connection to those networks to read data and send transactions, which normally means running complex “nodes.” Ankr runs a large, distributed network of these nodes and rents out that access to developers across more than 70 blockchains, so they do not have to build it themselves. It also offers liquid staking, which lets people earn staking rewards while receiving a tradeable token representing their staked funds, plus tools to help launch and scale new networks. The ANKR token pays for these services, rewards the node operators, and is used for governance.

It was serious but specific. In December 2022, an attacker gained control of a privileged key and used it to mint a huge amount of one of Ankr’s staking tokens, then sold it, causing losses. Importantly, this was a failure of key and contract security, not a weakness in the underlying blockchain. Ankr responded by compensating affected users and reworking the affected token system. The episode is a reminder that liquid-staking products, which rely on smart contracts and privileged controls, carry real risks that are separate from simply holding the ANKR token.

CoinDCX is considered one of the leading platforms in India, with FIU-IND registration under the PMLA, ISO/IEC certification, direct INR funding via UPI, IMPS, NEFT and RTGS, and published Proof of Reserves.

Enable app-based two-factor authentication rather than SMS, and use a password you have not reused elsewhere. Never share an OTP, seed phrase, or remote access to your screen. No genuine support agent will ask for them. If you withdraw to a personal wallet, check the address carefully and send a small test amount first, because on-chain transfers cannot be reversed.
