TDS POLICY

Games Pro India Pvt. Ltd. ('Games Pro', or 'we' or 'our' or 'us') operates the RummyKhiladi platform, which includes a website and mobile application (together, 'Platform'). As per the Finance Act 2023, all Real Money Gaming Apps are mandated to deduct tax at the rate of 30% on users' Net Winnings. This TDS Policy outlines the applicability, calculation, and compliance requirements concerning Tax Deducted at Source (TDS).

Understanding Net Winnings

What is Net Winnings?

Definition

Net Winnings is the difference between the total amount withdrawn and the total amount deposited in a financial year.

Example

If Total Deposit is ₹2,000 and Total Withdrawal is ₹3,000, then Net Winnings = ₹3,000 - ₹2,000 = ₹1,000

Tax Calculation

Rate of Tax

Tax is calculated at 30% of cumulative Net Winnings at the time of withdrawal.

Example

For Net Winnings of ₹1,000, Tax = 30% of ₹1,000 = ₹300

Components of Net Winnings

Included Items

Net Winnings calculation includes: • Cash game winnings • Tournament prizes • Bonus conversions • Referral rewards • Any other monetary credits

Excluded Items

The following are not included in Net Winnings: • Welcome bonuses • Promotional credits • Loyalty points • Non-withdrawable bonuses

TDS Deduction Timing

When is TDS Deducted?

TDS is deducted in two scenarios: 1. When a player makes a withdrawal 2. On March 31st (end of Financial Year)

Negative Net Winnings

Example

If Total Deposit is ₹4,000 and Total Withdrawal is ₹2,000: Net Winnings = ₹2,000 - ₹4,000 = -₹2,000 As Net Winnings is negative, no tax will be deducted.

Multiple Withdrawals

Cumulative Calculation

TDS is calculated on the cumulative Net Winnings for the financial year, considering all previous withdrawals and taxes paid.

Example

First Withdrawal: ₹5,000 (Tax paid: ₹300) Second Withdrawal: ₹3,000 (Additional tax calculated based on total Net Winnings) Total Net Winnings and tax are tracked throughout the year

Financial Year Considerations

Opening Balance Treatment

Calculation with Opening Balance

Net Winnings = (Total Withdrawal) - (Total Deposit) - (Opening Balance)

Example

Opening Balance: ₹1,500 Total Deposit: ₹2,000 Total Withdrawal: ₹3,000 Net Winnings = ₹3,000 - ₹2,000 - ₹1,500 = -₹500 As Net Winnings is negative, no tax will be deducted.

Year-End Balance

Year-End Calculation

Net Winnings = (Total Withdrawal) + (Closing Account Balance) - (Total Deposit) - (Opening Account Balance)

Example

Opening Balance (April 1, 2023): ₹1,500 Total Deposit: ₹2,000 Total Withdrawal: ₹3,000 Closing Balance (March 31, 2024): ₹4,000 Net Winnings = ₹3,000 + ₹4,000 - ₹2,000 - ₹1,500 = ₹3,500 Tax (30%) = ₹1,050 If ₹900 tax already paid, remaining tax = ₹150

Financial Year Transition
