TDS Policy on Winnings

As a fully compliant skill-gaming platform, rkludo.com adheres to all applicable tax regulations regarding TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on real money game winnings, as mandated by the Income Tax Act.

1. When TDS Applies

Under Section 194BA of the Income Tax Act, TDS at the rate of 30% applies to your net winnings from online games. Net winnings are calculated as total withdrawals plus closing wallet balance, minus total deposits and opening balance, in line with the prescribed government formula.

2. How rkludo.com Handles It

TDS is automatically computed and deducted at the time of withdrawal or at the end of the financial year, whichever is applicable. The deducted amount is deposited with the tax authorities against your PAN, and a TDS certificate (Form 16A) can be requested through our support desk for your annual tax filing.

3. Your Responsibility

Players are responsible for keeping their PAN details updated and for declaring gaming income in their income tax returns. rkludo.com provides complete transaction statements to make this process effortless.

4. What Happens Without a Valid PAN

If your PAN is missing or invalid on your rkludo.com profile, TDS may be deducted at a higher rate as per applicable tax rules, and Form 16A generation can be delayed. Keeping your PAN verified on RK Ludo ensures the correct 30% rate applies and speeds up certificate requests.
