HEY AJAY,
1. In case of Kaun Banega Crorepati, we dont know the exact method of making payment. i.e. whether it is net of Tax or its gross.
2. If its gross, they might have been following the method of TDS deductions as most of the others who gives the winning in kind is followed that to collect the TDS applicable frm winner and deposit the same. (us 194B)
Since the method speciafied in 2. above is applicable for winnings in kind or winnings partly in kind and partly in cash only. Thus, my view is that KBC gives the cheque net of tax (i.e. whetever amount signed by AB is net of tax only) means rs.3.20 lakhs is net amount and TDS paid by KBC by reverse working.
This is my personal views and can be wrong.
Regards,
Manoj
