Despite government mandates for offshore gaming firms to register and pay taxes in India, many have yet to comply, exacerbating issues for domestic businesses, including Indian startups. The presence of unregulated offshore entities complicates matters for legitimate enterprises operating within the country’s legal framework. Urgent action is sought by online gaming companies to address these concerns and protect consumer and industry interests. Amendments requiring overseas gaming platforms to register and pay taxes in India have been proposed, with non-compliance risking service blockage in the country. The continued operation of unregistered offshore platforms impacts registered Indian gaming companies, which pay 28% GST, undermining their revenue streams.
