Inward remittance of money won in foreign lottery. Inward remittance of money won in foreign lottery.

RBI/FEMA website says that money won from foreign lottery cannot be remitted to India. I, being an Indian resident, cannot open a foreign bank account and keep money outside India. Lottery organization is asking for my bank account to transfer the winnings. What legally right path should I follow?

A.Dear Client,
International lotteries are not subjected to Indian gambling law. If you have won the international lotteries then you only have to pay tax when the money is remitted to India. Make sure your are not getting involved in any illegal transactions.
Hope, it is helpful
