Hi,

Yes, you will have to pay tax irrespective of the fact whether the TDS has been deducted or not.

Even if you earn 100 rs, you will have to pay tax on lottery winnings. You can show it under income from other sources.

HI,

You have to pay tax @30.9% on any of such incomes irrespective of TDS provisions. If the TDS has not been done on your payments then you are responsible for paying taxes on your own. Please pay the tax amount online by using a self assessment tax challan or advance tax challan immediately to avoid interest levy.

For filing the self assessment tax challan, please follow the below procedure:

you need to make the tax payment online using the following link:

https://onlineservices.tin.egov-nsdl.com/etaxnew/tdsnontds.jsp

On visiting this link, please choose Challan 280 for making the tax payment. You will be directed to a page where you would be required to fill all your details ( Name, PAN, address etc.). Choose the following codes while completing the details

1. ( )(0021) Income Tax (Other than Companies)

( )(300) Self Assessment Tax

Fill all the basic details and post submission you will be directed to your net banking page of your bank account for making the tax payment.

Thanks

Hi,

You will need to disclose the lottery winnings under income from other sources and pay 30.9% tax on it. Hope that clarifies.
