If your bike is a winning of a lottery,i.e.if in the scheme you WON the bike, you have to pay 33% tax separately as it is not included in your tax slab at normal rates. If anyone gives you winning in cash he has to deduct 33%. If he gives you partly in cash and partly in kind he has to deduct 33% on the cash amount and deliver your item in kind to you only after getting proof from you of having paid full 33% of the value Income Tax yourself as an advance tax.
Therefore it is foolishness to win cars, bikes or any items in game shows. The items are too overpriced and you have to pay tax on something that is over valued. Better to win cash prizes only.
