I invested in Virtual Game currency/ CSGO skins in the year 2019 let's keep the sum total to be 2 Lakh Rupees INR for example and now that the price of those has raked up to let's say for example 10-12 Lakhs and now I sell them to a games skin dealer website and turn them again to real cash but now as mentioned before the total amount is 12 lakhs

under what category and how would I be filing this large sum of money mainly profits and how much tax would I be paying according to the budget 2022?

[i] the amount of income-tax calculated on income by way of winnings from such lottery or crossword puzzle or race including horse race or card game and other game of any sort or from gambling or betting of any form or nature whatsoever, at the rate of thirty per cent; and

[ii] the amount of income-tax with which the assessee would have been chargeable had his total income been reduced by the amount of income referred to in clause [i].

Respected Sir,

These aren't winnings from bettings or other games as such. A few years back I spent money to buy these and since then the price has risen like that of the stocks in stock market and now I want to sell them since these are some sort of NFT's

So what did you do? At what rate you paid tax?
