DGGI blocks 357 illegal online gaming sites, attaches 2,400 bank accounts

GST intelligence officers have blocked 357 websites of illegal offshore online gaming firms and attached about 2,400 bank accounts, the Finance Ministry said on Saturday. The ministry also cautioned the public against engaging with offshore gaming platforms, even though many Bollywood celebrities and cricketers, besides social media influencers, are found to be endorsing these platforms. About 700 offshore e-gaming companies are under the Directorate General of Goods and Services Tax Intelligence (DGGI) scanner, as these entities are evading GST by failing to register, concealing taxable pay-ins, and bypassing tax obligations. Investigations also revealed that these offshore companies operated through 'mule' bank accounts to process transactions, the ministry said, adding the DGGI blocked 166 'mule' accounts. "So far, 357 websites/URLs of illegal/non-compliant offshore online money gaming entities have been blocked by the DGGI, in coordination with the Ministry of Electronics and .

Policy stability, rational taxes tops Budget wishlist of gaming companies

A stable policy that spurs investments and job creation, alongside a more rational and progressive taxation regime, tops the Budget wishlist of online gaming companies, according to E-Gaming Federation Anuraag Saxena. His comments assume significance as the Directorate General of GST Intelligence's (DGGI) tax demands totalling Rs 1.12 lakh crore against online gaming companies, over the past many months, spooked the industry, although the Supreme Court's recent stay on showcause notices issued by GST authorities has provided a breather. Saxena said a slew of measures suggested by the industry can "turbocharge" the sector. The online gaming industry is also keen on playing a bigger role in participating in initiatives that involve and educate people about various government schemes through online educational games. "We need policy clarity and policy stability, which is what both domestic investors and foreign investors look for," Saxena said. The e-gaming industry is also pitching
