Online gaming to now be regulated by IT ministry, states not divested of their power

The ministry of electronics and information technology is now formally in charge of making rules related to online gaming while the ministry of youth affairs and sports is in charge of e-sports. 

The central government notified these changes to the Allocation of Business Rules on December 26. This is in line with a recommendation made by an inter-ministerial task force in its report on September 29. The changes were also recommended by the committee of secretaries, headed by cabinet secretary Rajiv Gauba, in a meeting on October 26.
