As per the new government rules of TDS, a 30% tax will be deducted from the Net Winnings (total amount received above the total deposits made) for all online real money gaming users, starting from 1 st April 2023.

Example

If you have deposited ₹1000 and made ₹1500 from that, your Net Winning is ₹1500-₹1000 = ₹500 (total amount received above the total deposits made), and a 30% tax will be deducted from ₹500, meaning:

If you are withdrawing ₹500, the total amount credited to your bank account will be ₹350 [₹500-30% of ₹500 (₹150)].

If you are withdrawing ₹1000, the total amount credited to your bank account will be ₹850 [₹1000-30% of ₹500 (₹150)].

If you are withdrawing ₹1500, the total amount credited to your bank account will be ₹1350 [₹1500-30% of ₹500 (₹150)].

As per Financial Budget 2023, under Section 194BA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The rate of TDS that has been prescribed on your net Winnings has been fixed at 30%.

Financial Year is from 1 st April 2023 to 31 st March 2024.

TDS or Tax Deducted at Source is income tax deducted from the money paid at the time of making certain payments like rent, professional fees, salaries, etc.

As per section 194BA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, if a person is earning any income from winnings from any online gaming, then that person is responsible for paying 30% of their net winning to the government as tax, this deduction is termed as TDS or Tax Deduction at source.

Net Winnings is the difference between your total winnings and total deposits, made during a time period, or the entire financial year, so accumulated and calculated at the time of your withdrawal.

For example, if you have deposited a total of Rs 100 at one instance, and won 2 games with a win amount of Rs. 50 each, your Net Winnings will be (50 x 2) - 100 = Nil.

Thus, Net Winnings = Total Win Amount - Total Deposits.

TDS Liability is the total TDS to be paid by you based on your current net winnings in a financial year.

TDS Liability will be calculated on the basis of your Net Winnings. If your Net Winnings increase during the financial year, the TDS Liability would increase. Similarly, the TDS Liability would go down if your Net Winnings decrease over the financial year.

As per section 194BA, TDS is to be calculated at the time when the user is making a withdrawal and/or at the end of each financial year.

Deduction is done on the amount the User would withdraw.

If your Net Winnings in a financial year or at the time of withdrawal, are positive, TDS at the rate of 30% shall be applicable on your Net Winnings. The following examples show when TDS will be nil and when it is subjected to deduction.

Pe.on "A" has made a total deposit of .. 5000, and total winnings of Rs. 2000, then his net winnings shall be in negative.

His total deposit is Rs. 5000 and total winning is Rs. 5000, then his net winning shall be null.

His total deposit is Rs. 5000 and total winning is Rs. 9000, having his net winnings in positive, thus the TDS will be calculated on his net win amount, which that is Rs. 4000.

Hence 30% of his net winning i.e., Rs. 1200 shall be deducted at the time of withdrawal.

(See the table below. Example no. 1-3)

Thus, "A" will get their withdrawal amount only after 30% TDS deduction on their net winnings.

As of 31st March, if your Net winnings are positive, it shall be entitled to 30% deduction, irrespective of any withdrawal made.

Further, if your TDS paid is more than your TDS liability, the difference shall be adjusted in your game wallet on 31st March.

If your total withdrawals (including the new withdrawal) in the financial year become more than your total deposits, the new withdrawal becomes eligible for a TDS deduction. The total deposits will be the sum of deposits made by you on the app.

Total Deposits till date is Rs. 3,000 Total Withdrawals till date is Rs. 2,500 New Withdrawal amount is Rs. 1,000 Total Withdrawals (including the new Withdrawal) = Rs. 2,500 + Rs. 1,000 = Rs. 3,500 Since the total Withdrawals exceed the total Deposits, the new Withdrawal will be eligible for a TDS deduction. Difference between total Withdrawal and total Deposits = Rs. 3,500 - Rs. 3,000 = Rs. 500 TDS = 30% of Rs. 500 = Rs. 150 Net Withdrawal amount credited to your bank account = Rs. 1,000 - Rs. 150 = Rs. 850 The TDS amount of Rs. 150 paid by you will accumulate to be your total Paid TDS.

Total Deposits till date = Rs. 5,000 Total Withdrawals till date is Rs. 4,500 New Withdrawal amount is Rs. 1,500 Total Withdrawals (including the new Withdrawal) is Rs. 4,500 + Rs. 1,500 = Rs. 6,000 Say total Paid TDS till date is Rs. 100. Since the total Withdrawals exceed the total Deposits, the new Withdrawal will be eligible for a TDS deduction. Difference between total Withdrawal and total Deposits = Rs. 6,000 - Rs. 5,000 = Rs. 1,000 TDS is 30% of Rs. 1,000 = Rs. 300 TDS deduction applicable on your transaction = Rs. 600 - (Paid TDS till date) = Rs. 300 - Rs. 100 = Rs. 200 Net Withdrawal amount credited to your bank account = Rs. 1,500 - Rs. 200 = Rs. 1,300 The TDS amount of Rs. 200 paid by you will accumulate to be your total Paid TDS.

Total Deposits till date is Rs. 1,000 Total Withdrawals till date is Rs. 500 New Withdrawal amount is Rs. 300 Total Withdrawals (including the new Withdrawal) is Rs. 500 + Rs. 300 = Rs. 800 Since the total Withdrawals do not exceed the total Deposits, the new Withdrawal will not be eligible for a TDS deduction. Net Withdrawal amount credited to your bank account is Rs. 300.
