Yes, it's necessary to regulate and control gambling.
No, it's too high and discourages gaming startups.
Maybe, but needs clearer distinction between skill and chance.
Not sure, need to understand it better.
Online gaming is booming in India, but not without controversy. In a major decision, the Indian government has slapped a 28% GST on gaming platforms that involve betting and gambling. While the move aims to control financial risks and discourage addictive habits, many players and startups feel the tax rate is too steep. They argue that such a high GST could hurt India's growing gaming industry, which is providing jobs and global recognition.
On the other hand, supporters say this taxation is a strong step towards regulating online gambling and preventing misuse of digital platforms. There’s also confusion about how to differentiate skill-based games from pure chance-based gambling, which adds another layer of complexity. As debates heat up, your opinion matters more than ever. Should the government stick to this rate, reconsider, or draw clearer lines? Vote now and tell us how you feel about India’s 28% GST on online gaming!
