Pls guide me...

I've won a contest held by a US based comapny. I'm Indian citizen.

My quesation is:

- How much income tax is applicable on the money?

- Does this money comes under Lottery system where flat 30% is applicable?

My CA says that the company is based out of India so there are no taxes to be paid except Income Tax under slab system. Is this right?

Contest details:

I made a free computer software, I own the IPs of the software, submitted to the company, more people also submitted from various countries, I was chosen for the prize by the judges.

Did you receive the money in India or in US? If you directly received it in India, it is taxable under lottery and taxable @ 30%. Also, income deemed to has arosen in India as software made in India. It is taxable anyhow   @ 30%.
