Switching P2P platforms without losing anything
Export your full order history and tax records first, close out open orders and disputes, test the new platform with a ₹500 trade, verify withdrawal works before moving size, and keep the old account open until the records are safely stored.
The mistake is moving funds before moving records. Order history is the one thing you cannot recreate after an account closes.
In order
1Export everything first
Full order history with IDs and timestamps, plus any TDS or tax statements. Store the files, not screenshots. You will need them at filing time and possibly for a bank query years later.
2Close out open positions
No open orders, no live disputes, no pending withdrawals. Migrating mid-dispute is how disputes get lost.
3Test the new platform small
One ₹500 trade, start to finish. Watch escrow timing, settlement speed and whether the record is exportable.
4Test a withdrawal before you test size
Deposit small, withdraw small. A platform that is easy to fund and hard to exit is a platform you learn about too late.
5Move volume only after both tests pass
And keep the old account open until you are certain the records are stored somewhere you control.
Test with ₹500 — escrow, settlement and record export, all in one trade.

Should I close my old crypto account after switching?
Not immediately. Export and safely store your full order history first — once an account closes, those records are usually gone.
