Taxability of lottery income

If A non resident individual or Company or Firm or other body earns lottery prize of Rs.1,00,000 and Commission paid to lottery agent of Rs.30,000 then Is Rs.30,000 this deductible or not?
If no other conditions are there?

Again, If a Resident HUF or Company or any other body earns lottery prize of Rs.1,00,000 and Commission paid to lottery agent is Rs.30, 000. If both the lottery organizer and agent is government sponsored then this Rs.30,000 in lieu of commission paid is deductible or not?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of lottery winnings, specifically focusing on whether agent commissions can be deducted. It examines scenarios for both non-resident and resident individuals or entities, considering whether the lottery organiser and agent are government-sponsored. The key takeaway is that lottery winners generally cannot claim deductions, regardless of their residency status, and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) will apply in both cases.

The lottery winner cant claim any deduction whatsoever. the residential status of winner will make no impact
In both cases TDS will be deducted
