Can International Lottery Winners bring money to India?


21-Aug-2023 (In Tax Law)
Hi, It is months that I have been playing International Lotteries online from www.thelotter.com. This site seems to be authentic, under GeoTrust. I have also won lotteries around $25 in these two months. I received the money and I used it to purchase more tickets. Now suppose if I win the jackpot, 'thelotter' will help me claim the winning amount but will it be possible to bring the money to india? Please help.

Any income earned through overseas wouldn't be taxable in India as U/s 5 of IT ACT. It means any source of income which has been earned out of India is exempted. You can use that money in India through any mode of investment or anything which would be legal.
