Did you win a state lottery? Big or small, the money you see on the ticket isn’t the final amount you take home. In India, most lottery prizes go through **TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) of 31.2%** and **a common seller commission of 10%**. Our calculator helps you estimate your real payout within seconds, so you can plan wisely and claim stress-free.
⚠️ Note: Prizes above ₹50 Lakhs may attract surcharge. For exact filing, use **ITR-2** and request **Form 16A** from the organizer. Consult a certified tax advisor for declaration under *Income from Other Sources*.
Lotteries in India are legally run by state governments and regional authorities, offering prize pools that range from a few thousand rupees to multi-crore jackpots. Whether you're checking Kerala Lottery today at 3PM, evening results from Sambad Lottery, or monthly draws like Punjab Dear 200, it's important to know that large winnings (above ₹10,000 per draw) are subject to **a fixed 30% tax**, plus **4% health and education cess**, totaling **31.2% TDS**. Many sellers also apply a **10% commission before taxation**, especially in paper-ticket distributions.
Our platform helps winners avoid confusion by offering both:
If your prize exceeds **₹50,00,000**, surcharge may apply on top of TDS depending on the tax slab for 'Other Sources income', so it's always smart to consult a CA. If TDS has already been deducted, you can validate it later via Income Tax **AIS or 26AS statement**. Claiming your money correctly and filing taxes responsibly ensures a safe and lawful win.
