The Union Government has filed a transfer petition in the Supreme Court to consolidate all pending cases challenging GST notices issued to real money gaming companies across different High Courts.
The government aims to streamline the legal process and ensure uniform adjudication of taxation issues for the real money gaming industry.

Notable petitioners mentioned include Games 24x7, Head Digital Works, and the industry association EGF.
The Supreme Court intervened by staying the operation of a Karnataka High Court order that had overturned a large GST notice to GamesKraft, prompting the tax department to issue similar notices to other real money gaming entities.
