3. PRE - DESIGNATED AMOUNT PAYMENT

When you enter a contest, the Pre-Designated Amount will be deducted first from your Unutilized Account, followed by your Winnings Account, after accounting for any Discount Bonus and Discount Points. Debits from the Unutilized Account will be processed based on the date the funds were initially credited. If your account balances are insufficient to join a paid contest, you must deposit the required Pre-Designated Amount. Any deposited amount is subject to deduction of applicable GST as per the terms outlined here.

4. WITHDRAWALS PROCESSING

Upon initiating your first withdrawal, you will need to submit specific documents for payment processing and verification purposes. The name on your identification document provided during withdrawal must match the name you provided during account creation. Once we verify your bank account details and/or UPI ID, if applicable, we will proceed with processing your withdrawal. After verification, we will deduct the amount from your Winning Account and promptly transfer it to your bank account online. Please note that we reserve the right to charge a processing fee for transferring funds from your Winning Account to your bank account. Since we rely on banks and third-party entities for transaction processing on our platform, it may take up to 24 hours to complete payments to your bank account. By using our services, you agree not to hold us responsible for any delays in payment processing. Once a transaction is confirmed, it is deemed final, and no cancellations are permitted.

5. TAXES PAYABLE

As of October 1, 2023, a 28% GST applies to any funds deposited into your Unutilised Account. You can monitor the GST paid on each deposit through the 'My Transaction' page on the Platform. The GST amount stated on the invoice will be the final charge to you. Moreover, all winnings will be subject to a tax deduction known as TDS, in accordance with the Income Tax Act 1961. Starting April 1, 2023, a 30% TDS will be subtracted from the Net Winnings (NW) upon each withdrawal request you make.
For the first withdrawal within the Financial Year (FY):
NW = A - (B + C)
Where:
● A represents the total amount withdrawn from the Winning Account.
● B represents the cumulative amount of non-taxable deposits made in the Unutilised Account until the time of withdrawal.
C represents the remaining balance in both the Unutilised Account and the Winning Account at the beginning of the FY (referred to as the "Opening Balance"). ● NW will be zero if the combined value of B and C equals or exceeds A. For subsequent withdrawals during the FY from the Winning Account:
The NW calculation follows the same formula as above. If no winnings are withdrawn during a financial year, and there exists a Net Winning balance as of March 31st of each year, a TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) of 30% will be deducted from the Net Winnings balance in the Winning Account as of March 31st, as calculated previously.
In the event of any revisions by the Government of India to the prescribed TDS rate or the definition of Net Winnings, TDS will be deducted by the organisation according to the updated TDS rate and the revised definition of Net Winnings. Winners will receive TDS certificates for these deductions. They are responsible for any other applicable taxes, such as income tax, gift tax, etc., related to the Net Winnings. The organisation is not liable for users' individual tax matters.

6. REFUNDS

We will reimburse any remaining balance in your Unutilised Account if your account is suspended or terminated for the following reasons:
(a) Our failure to deliver services as promised,
(b) Any directive issued by a government or regulatory authority.
If a contest is cancelled in accordance with our terms, we will refund the Pre-Designated Amount you paid. We will deactivate your account as per instructions from a government agency or competent authority, refunding the deposited amount from your Unutilised Account to the source account upon receiving necessary instructions, subject to applicable processing fees.
If our services become unavailable due to circumstances beyond our control, such as acts of god, war, terrorism, etc., we reserve the right to cancel contests and refund the Pre-Designated Amount. In a Public Contest involving only two users with identical teams, the Prize Money Pool and Platform Fee will be split evenly between them. Your share of the Prize Money Pool will be credited to your Winning Account, and your share of the Platform Fee will be credited to your Discount Bonus Account.
Any withdrawal request from your Unutilised Account will be processed net of GST. The 28% GST applicable on the amount deposited in the Unutilised Account is non-refundable according to government laws

7. USER FUNDS

By agreeing to these terms, you give us permission to designate an impartial third party, such as a trustee or escrow agent, to act on your behalf. This third party will hold any funds you deposit in a fiduciary capacity.

Your deposited funds will only be forfeited by us in the event of receiving instructions from a government agency or competent authority. Additionally, you authorise us to direct the third party to establish non-interest earning bank accounts for specific purposes, including withdrawing your winnings, covering platform fees, paying applicable taxes on net winnings, and settling government obligations such as GST payments.
