General Scheme of Lotteries (as given in Departmental Circular)
Lotteries are conducted by various State Governments and are regulated by a Central legislation, i.e. the
Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998.
The State Governments appoint distributors to advertise, promote and sell lottery tickets. Besides the State
Governments organizing lotteries, some other games of chance are also being organized. The services
provided for promotion or marketing or organizing such games of chance are now being covered by
introducing a separate taxable service to cover the services in connection with games of chance, organized
conducted or promoted by the client, in whatever form or by whatever name called (such as lottery, lotto)
under the ‘Games of chance’ service. The tax would be applicable also to such games conducted online.
