The Indian government's Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI), which is in charge of preventing tax cheating, is targeting the gaming sector. According to a report by the Economic Times, the agency has allegedly targeted 38 online gambling platforms for money laundering and tax law infractions.
The DGGI claims that the businesses are obtaining money from Indian customers but sending it abroad. Online gambling is not yet allowed in India, and recent reports indicate that it may even move in the opposite direction.
According to the agency, the platforms are able to go around the nation's tax laws through their acts. Additionally, they permit certain people, particularly wealthy ones, to avoid paying taxes and to launder money.
