if someone earns 5 bitcoins (at 20,000) from doing some work and converts only 1 bitcoin (at 21000) thru an exchange, how should the income tax be calculated here?

even though in this example it doesn't exceed 2.5 laks but assume that there are other sources of income that make it exceed 2.5 laks..

thank you

From my knowledge, you would be paying the taxes for 1000 INR which is the profit from selling 1 bitcoin for 21000 that you purchased at 20000 INR.
