(Image: Pti) Mumbai. ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) is the most popular TV Quiz program in India, where participants get a chance to become a millionaire by answering the questions of Amitabh Bachchan. The attraction of the show is also at its peak in the 2025 season. But do you know that the amount the winners win is not in their hands? In fact, the direct rule of the income tax department applies to the amount of the reward. According to Article 115BB and 194b of the Income Tax Act, earnings from Lotto, game shows, bets or quiz are counted in ‘income from other sources’. It is taxed at 30 percent flat. In addition, 4 percent strike and applied overload are also added. For example, if a participant wins £ 1 in KBC, approximately 30 lakh calls will be deducted as taxes and strike. That is, the right amount that comes in the hands of the winner will be about 70 lakh calls. Likewise, with the victory of Rs 1 Lakh, you have to pay more than 30,000 rupees. Most importantly, no discount, rebate or standard cutting applies to this income. Even if the winner has no other income, the tax will be levied on the total winning amount. Article 194b also says that if the reward is over £ 10,000, the organizer (eg KBC) will have to pay reward by deducting tax on TDS. If the price is in the form of a gift, car or home instead of cash, the winner will first have to pay the tax, then the award will be handed to them. This means that although winning rupees in the show is a great achievement, but in reality the winners have to pay a good amount to the government under the tax rules. This is why there is a big difference between the ‘victory amount’ visible to the audience and the ‘right amount’ reaching the winner’s home.
