Agree - normal slab rate, IFOS - Absolutely.

 I think other members have confused themselves with explanation winning from races including horse races, which is covered u/s 115BB

I agree with you .G.K.. It is taxable under other sources

Taxable under head other sources at normal slab rate.

It is taxable under PGBP and is taxable at normal slab rate since from last two years i m doing accounting as well as filing return of person who is owning and maintaing race horses in Pune Race Course.

I agree with paresh rathod

Taxable under "Income from other source"

Normal slab rate + education cess is applicable.

 Income from owning and maintaining race horses is a specific item of income covered by the section 56(2)(ib) of the income tax act. Section 56 tells us the specific type of income which is taxable under the head Income from other source, thus 100% it is taxable under the head of income from other sources. As no special rate prescribed for such income under the income tax act, it would be taxable at the normal rate as per slab rates.
