CoinDCX is one of India's biggest exchanges, and trading there is INR-paired — so your rupees are converted to USDT before you withdraw. Two Indian-specific things to know: the 1% TDS is deducted when you trade (buying USDT with INR), not when you transfer to your own wallet, and crypto withdrawals need verification — CoinDCX gates external sends behind OTP confirmation and can apply a short review on newly whitelisted addresses. Clear those, pick the TRON network, and your USDT lands on Fish & Chips in a couple of minutes for a flat 1 USDT fee — we never charge anything on deposits.
TL;DR: CoinDCX → buy USDT with INR (1% TDS applies to the trade) → Wallet → Withdraw → USDT → TRON (TRC-20) (not ERC20, not BEP20) → paste your TronLink address (starts with
T) → confirm the OTP verification → arrives in ~2 minutes → connect at fishnchips.io/wallet.
Step 1 — Install TronLink and copy your address
On mobile, install TronLink from the App Store or Play Store. Create or restore a wallet and write the 12-word recovery phrase down offline. If you lose it, the funds are gone — CoinDCX support cannot recover a self-custodial wallet.
Your address starts with a capital T and is 34 characters long. Tap it in TronLink to copy.
Step 2 — Withdraw from CoinDCX
- Sign in to CoinDCX with full KYC done. If you hold INR, buy USDT first — India's 1% TDS is deducted on the trade, so factor it into the amount you buy.
- Go to Wallet → USDT → Withdraw.
- Network: choose TRON (TRC-20). This is the single step that can lose your money.
- Paste your TronLink address, enter the amount, and submit. Complete CoinDCX's withdrawal verification — email/SMS OTP; a newly added address can sit in a short security review before the first send goes out.
- Approve the final confirmation.
| Network | CoinDCX fee | Arrival time | Works for Fish & Chips? |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRON (TRC-20) | ~1 USDT | ~2 min | ✅ Yes |
| ERC20 (Ethereum) | 3–15 USDT | 1–5 min | ❌ Lost funds |
| BEP20 (BNB Chain) | ~0.5 USDT | ~30s | ❌ Lost funds |
Step 3 — Confirm on Fish & Chips
Open fishnchips.io/wallet, tap Connect Wallet, and approve TronLink. Within about a minute of the Tron block confirming, the deposit posts to your balance at 1 USDT = 1,000 points. Your first-ever deposit also triggers the welcome bonus — a 50% match capped at 5,000 points.
You can verify the transfer on Tronscan: search your address and the latest inbound USDT transfer should read "Success".
Common mistakes to avoid
- Not budgeting for the 1% TDS. It's deducted when you buy USDT with INR, so buy slightly more than you plan to send.
- Leaving the network on ERC20 or BEP20. Always re-check TRON (TRC-20) before you confirm — the other networks never arrive on Fish & Chips.
- Skipping the OTP verification. The withdrawal stays queued until you confirm the prompts — check spam if the email doesn't arrive.
- Sending dust amounts. Fund at least 10 USDT so you can comfortably withdraw winnings later (our minimum cash-out is 10 USDT).
- Pasting an exchange address. Use your own TronLink address, never another exchange's deposit address.
Once your first deposit lands, every future one takes about 30 seconds because TronLink remembers the address. Buying USDT in India for the first time? See the full India funding guide, read the TRC-20 vs ERC-20 explainer, or head to the arcade lobby for Fish Hunter and Dragon King.
Frequently asked questions
How do I pick the TRC-20 network on CoinDCX?
On CoinDCX, go to Wallet → USDT → Withdraw, then choose the network. Pick 'TRON (TRC-20)' rather than Ethereum (ERC-20) or BNB Chain. TRC-20 is the same Tron rail Fish & Chips accepts and the cheapest option CoinDCX offers for USDT.
Does India's 1% TDS apply when I withdraw USDT from CoinDCX?
TDS applies when you TRADE — India deducts 1% at source on crypto sell/trade transactions, so buying USDT with INR is where it bites. Withdrawing USDT you already hold to your own TronLink wallet is a transfer, not a trade, and doesn't trigger a fresh TDS deduction.
What is CoinDCX's withdrawal fee for USDT TRC-20?
Around 1 USDT, flat, on the TRON (TRC-20) network. It's the same fee whether you send 20 USDT or 2,000 USDT, which makes Tron the cheapest way out of CoinDCX — far below the Ethereum (ERC-20) fee.
What is CoinDCX's minimum USDT TRC-20 withdrawal?
CoinDCX's USDT withdrawal minimum is small (a few USDT), but to actually withdraw winnings later you need at least 10 USDT on Fish & Chips (our minimum cash-out), so funding 10 USDT or more from the start is the cleanest path.
