11 January 2017 Since the players are professional players and their occupation is playing kabaddi, it would be considered as income from business or profession. The definition of business and profession also includes vocation.

24 January 2017 Further to the query, want to add few more on it. If the sportsman received two income one is under auction and other is by way of award/prize like man of the match. As already cleared the doubt that income from his profession will be assessed under PGBP, what about the Prize money received, will it be taxed under PGBP or will be taxed as income from other sources and will be taxed at spl rate @30%.

25 January 2017 The prize money received is the resultant of vocation, thus it may be taxed under PGBP. However, I suggest you to take a second opinion as well.
