Digital assets are the easiest to lose completely, because they often live behind passwords and two-factor codes only you hold. Crypto in a self-custody wallet, funds in fintech apps, domains, and even a valuable social or business account can become permanently unreachable if no one has the keys or logins, and nominee rules that work for a bank account may not help here at all. The practical guard is to inventory these in your master estate document, note where the assets sit and how they can be accessed (seed phrases, recovery details) without exposing them casually, and store that safely so a trusted person can reach it. Mention meaningful digital assets in your will too. The legal treatment and tax rules around crypto and digital assets in India are still evolving and change often, so confirm the current position with a lawyer and CA.
