If you’re someone who enjoys playing rummy games online for cash, you will love Taj Rummy’s instant cash withdrawal feature. Taj Rummy is, hands down, one of India’s best rummy apps, and a major advantage of playing rummy on our platform is the ability to withdraw your winnings instantly.
When you win a cash game, you don’t have to wait days to receive your winnings. Instead, you can withdraw your cash immediately after the game, and the money will be credited to your bank account. This is known as an “immediate” or “instant withdrawal.”
As a new player, you can enjoy tons of free practice games without depositing any money. However, when you deposit money to play rummy games for cash, you can be assured of playing in a secure and legit environment.
To sign up and play online cash rummy games, all you need to do is download and install this real money rummy app and register with your phone number.
Availing instant withdrawals from this rummy app is just as smooth and easy as depositing cash in your rummy accounts. The process is very simple, and to be eligible for withdrawals, you will need to first ensure that the following two criteria are met:
Step 1: Click on the “Wallet” icon seen at the bottom of the screen. Alternately, select the “Withdrawal” icon in the menu
Step 2: Upon entering the Wallet, you get the Withdrawal Cash Balance option. Click on “Withdraw” and enter the amount.
Note: The minimum withdrawal amount is Rs. 100
Step 3: Remember, your KYC is mandatory for processing the withdrawal, so if you haven’t already completed this procedure while setting up your rummy account, then you can do it at this stage. Also, update your personal information, such as your email address and phone number, for verification.
Step 4: Tap the ‘Withdraw Now” icon, select your bank name and enter your bank account number for the cash transfer.
Step 5: Enter the OTP received on your phone, and your withdrawal will be processed.
Step 6: In case your withdrawal moves into the manual bucket due to a bank delay(s) or internal check(s), you may check your transactions tab to track its status/ progress. Once your withdrawal has been completed successfully, you should receive an alert from your bank, too.
From 1 April'23, the Income Tax department introduced a new TDS section, 194BA, for Winnings from online games.
The net winnings are calculated when you place a request for withdrawal (or on the closing balance at year-end). TDS is calculated at 30% of the net winnings comprising the Withdrawal/Closing Balance at year-end.
The TDS will be deducted at the time of withdrawal and the year's end. The Financial Year (FY) is from 1st April to 31st March every year. Your deposit and withdrawal ledger will become 0 at 00:00 hours on the 1st of April of every financial year. Net winnings = [Total withdrawals in FY - (Total deposits in FY + Net winnings which have incurred TDS during the FY + Opening balance as of 1st April 00:00 hours)]. If your net winnings at the time of making a withdrawal are positive (greater than 0), 30% TDS will be applicable on any withdrawn amount.
Let us understand with a few examples:
On 1st April, you have Rs. 7,000 in your winnings balance and Rs. 8,000 in your deposit balance. Now you want to withdraw Rs. 7,000 on 3rd April. In such a situation, no TDS will be applied. The calculation will be as follows:
Total withdrawals in FY | Rs. 7,000 |
Total deposits in FY | Rs. 0 |
Opening deposit balance | Rs. 8,000 |
Net winnings | Rs. 7,000 - Rs. 8,000 = Rs. -1,000 |
Net winnings that have incurred TDS in FY | Rs. 0 |
TDS @ 30% on net winnings | Rs. 0 |
Now, consider that you deposit Rs. 3,000 in the current FY. Your opening deposit balance was Rs. 8,000, and you have already withdrawn Rs. 7,000. Now you want to withdraw Rs. 5,000 more. The calculation will be as follows:
Total withdrawals in FY | Rs. 7,000 + Rs. 5,000 = Rs. 12,000 |
Total deposits in FY | Rs. 3,000 |
Opening deposit balance | Rs. 8,000 |
Net winnings | Rs. 12,000 – (Rs. 8,000 + Rs. 3,000) = Rs. 1,000 |
Net winnings that have incurred TDS in FY | Rs. 0 |
TDS @ 30% on net winnings | Rs. 300 |
In the above case, you could have withdrawn Rs. 4,000 without tax instead of Rs. 5,000. However, since you are withdrawing Rs. 5,000, Rs. 300 will be deducted from the remaining Rs. 1,000, and you will receive Rs. 4,700 in your bank account.
If TDS has been applied to your previous withdrawals, then no TDS is applicable on withdrawals till your net winnings exceed the amount for which you have already paid TDS.
Total withdrawals in FY | Rs. 20,000 |
Total deposits in FY | Rs. 6,000 |
Opening deposit balance | Rs. 8,000 |
Net winnings | Rs. 20,000 – (Rs. 8,000 + Rs. 6,000) = Rs. 6,000 |
Net winnings that have incurred TDS in FY | Rs. 6,000 |
TDS @ 30% on net winnings | Rs. 0 |
If you try to withdraw Rs. 5,500, no TDS will be deducted. You can withdraw up to Rs. 6,000 without any TDS.
However, if you wish to withdraw Rs. 10,000, TDS will be charged on the remaining Rs. 4,000 @ 30%, which is Rs. 1,200. Post this, you will receive Rs. 8,800 in your bank account.
The new amendment in TDS on gaming platforms has actually simplified the process. The computation is processed the same as any income tax, except that the TDS levied on winnings from online gaming is 30 percent.
As players will be paying TDS on withdrawals throughout the year and the final TDS for the financial year will be assessed at 23:59 on 31st March, depending on the total amount remaining in the players’ accounts, some further deduction may need to be made minus the deposit amounts.
If any excess TDS has been deducted, then players may need to file an ITR request for Claims, and the total TDS deducted can be adjusted against the winnings liable for tax plus deposits.
As required by income tax laws, all winnings are required to be reported by players under the heading of ‘Income from other sources’ while filing their income tax returns (ITR) for the financial year.
We deduct TDS during the withdrawal process (through the year or at the end of the year) and deposit it with the government. For this reason, players are required to provide their PAN Card and the linked Aadhar Card. The TDS deduction details can be seen in every player’s individual 26AS on the IT website, which is updated quarterly.
