To explain this better, find the examples below or contact [email protected] to get an insight into your personal taxable withdrawals. The duration during which your taxes are calculated are from 1st April every year to 31st March 11:30 PM.
Example 1: If you deposit 50,000 INR on 2nd April and win 9999 INR, and convert 59,999 (50,00 deposit and 9,999 winnings) No TDS will be deducted since your net winnings till now are only 9,999. However, every winning after this point will be subject to a 30% TDS. Let’s say a player makes a 5000 INR deposit after the withdrawal and wins 5000 INR and tries to withdraw 10,000 INR(5000 Deposit + 5000 winnings), He will have to pay a 30% tax on 5000 INR that he has won
Example 2: If you Deposit 40,000 INR and win 30,000 INR. Your net Balance is 70,000 INR . When you withdraw the 70,000 INR; you will be taxed 30% on 20001 INR (70,000 - 40,000 deposit - 9999 eligible tax free winnings for the first time in a financial year). When you deposit 40,000 Again, and win 30,000 INR again in the same year and withdraw the 70,000, you will be taxed on 30,000 INR at 30% TDS.
