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).
Net Winnings is the difference between the total amount withdrawn and the total amount deposited in a financial year.
If Total Deposit is ₹2,000 and Total Withdrawal is ₹3,000, then Net Winnings = ₹3,000 - ₹2,000 = ₹1,000
Tax is calculated at 30% of cumulative Net Winnings at the time of withdrawal.
For Net Winnings of ₹1,000, Tax = 30% of ₹1,000 = ₹300
Net Winnings calculation includes: • Cash game winnings • Tournament prizes • Bonus conversions • Referral rewards • Any other monetary credits
The following are not included in Net Winnings: • Welcome bonuses • Promotional credits • Loyalty points • Non-withdrawable bonuses
TDS is deducted in two scenarios: 1. When a player makes a withdrawal 2. On March 31st (end of Financial Year)
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.
TDS is calculated on the cumulative Net Winnings for the financial year, considering all previous withdrawals and taxes paid.
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
Net Winnings = (Total Withdrawal) - (Total Deposit) - (Opening Balance)
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.
Net Winnings = (Total Withdrawal) + (Closing Account Balance) - (Total Deposit) - (Opening Account Balance)
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
At the end of each financial year (March 31st): • All pending TDS calculations are completed • Final tax adjustments are made • Remaining balance is carried forward • New calculations begin for the next financial year
• March 31st: Financial year end • April 1st: New financial year begins • Within 1 month of quarter end: TDS certificates issued • July 31st: Due date for filing income tax returns
Players can file their returns with the income tax department and claim refunds subject to their overall tax liability. While RummyKhiladi will issue tax deduction certificates, we cannot refund excess TDS directly to players.
Tax Certificates will be issued within 1 month from the last date of filing TDS returns for every quarter.
