Aiyyo, for a salaried person like me, any gaming winnings above Rs. 10,000 are taxed at a flat 30% rate by the company giving the prize—it's TDS, you see. They just cut it before you even get the money. But listen, the real thing is, my salary is already in the highest tax slab, so this just adds to that pile at the end of the year. I play for fun, not rupees, but still, that extra form for my CA feels like losing a round!
