FAQ :
The DGGI has issued a takedown notice to Google, ordering the blocking of six online gaming and gambling websites for failing to register in India and evading IGST.
The websites targeted are MGM91.com, Shakunimama.com, Khelomama.com, 247majestic.com, Redgames1.com, and karabet.in.
They are accused of offering online money gaming services to Indian users without registering for GST in India and evading IGST payments.
The notices invoked provisions under the Information Technology Act and the IGST Act, citing 'security of the state' as a key reason.
As of August 10, the websites remained accessible despite the DGGI's order to block them within 36 hours.
The government maintains a firm stance on taxing online gaming, with a 28% GST applied to the full face value of bets.
