Agree - normal slab rate, IFOS - Absolutely.

I think other members have confused themselves with explanation winning from races including horse races, which is covered u/s 115BB

Income from owning and maintaining race horses is a specific item of income covered by the section 56(2)(ib) of the income tax act. Section 56 tells us the specific type of income which is taxable under the head Income from other source, thus 100% it is taxable under the head of income from other sources. As no special rate prescribed for such income under the income tax act, it would be taxable at the normal rate as per slab rates.

Where the total income of an assessee includes any income by way of winnings

from any lottery or crossword puzzle or race including horse race or card game and

other game of any sort or from gabling or betting of any form, tax shall be

calculated at the rate of 30% of such income plus surcharge.

crossword puzzles, race, etc. are subject to the following:

(a) No expenditure or allowance can be allowed against such income;

(b) No deduction under Chapter VI-A can be allowed;

(c) No benefit of carry forward and set off of loss/unabsorbed depreciation

allowance is available against such income; and

(d) No basic exemption limit is available.

This provision does not apply to income derived from owning and maintaining

race horses in respect of which normal rates of tax shall apply. Loss derived from this source shall be governed by the provisions of Section 74A.

Loss from owning and maintenance of horses shall be set-off only out of the income form owning and maintenance of horses. This means that loss from the activity of owning and maintaining race horses cannot be set-off against any other income falling under the head “Other Sources”.
