Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a tax rebate under Section 87A is available for income earned from lottery tickets. The consensus is that the rebate is indeed applicable, provided your total taxable income does not exceed Rs 5,00,000. The rebate amount is capped at Rs 12,500 or the actual tax payable, whichever is lower.
A resident individual having taxable income upto Rs 5,00,000 will get a tax rebate of Rs 12,500 or equal to the amount of tax payable (whichever is lower).
in this case if you win more than 10000 and taxed at 31.2%, if this is lower than 12,500 rebate, then
Rebate will be available if income is less than 500000 rupees than a rebate u/s 87A will be given for 12500 rupees. It is applicable on lottery income also
