text: what will be the tax on winning amount in india?   you have not mentioned what kind of winning amount it is? i mean the nature of "winning".   in any case, general rate of taxation for winning, as per section 115bb(i) is 30% [plus] sc @ 10%, if applicable [plus] education cess @ 2%.  if sc applicable - 33.66% if sc not applicable - 30.6%  please note, no basic exemption of rs. 1 lac is available here. so even if you have only lottery income of 1 lac, tax is still payable.
