The Supreme Court ruling upholding the 28% retrospective goods and services tax on real-money gaming (RMG) platforms may push several online gaming companies towards insolvency, industry executives said, even as companies are considering legal options.
The GST demand of Rs 92,000 crore on past transactions will also impact larger players such as Dream11, Junglee Games and Mobile Premier League, which have been pivoting to different businesses following the blanket RMG ban introduced in August last year, executives said.
