Foreign lottery ticket bought online from India: legality, tax and consequences
This query is : Open
20 September 2026
I live in Tamil Nadu, India. Is it legal for me to buy a lottery ticket online from a foreign lottery website and pay with my Indian debit or credit card? If I win, what legal and tax consequences would there be when the prize money comes into my Indian bank account?
I've also seen reports of people in India winning prizes from foreign lotteries. If the purchase was not permitted, what consequences have such winners actually faced, or how are these cases usually handled by banks, the RBI, or the authorities? Are there any known cases or orders on this?
