Detailed Prize Computation & Tax Regulations
1. Traditional Teer Return Multipliers (Meghalaya Circuits)
Payout ratios across Shillong, Khanapara, and Juwai booking counters follow a standardized multiplier established by regional bookmakers and archery club associations under the Meghalaya Regulation of the Game of Arrow Shooting and the Sale of Teer Tickets Act, 2018 (Act No. 12 of 2018) and the Meghalaya Teer Amendment Act, 2019. Note that these multipliers represent customary market conventions rather than statutory payout guarantees mandated by state law:
| Bet Type | Selection Details | Standard Multiplier | Sample Return on INR 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct Single (F/R) | Exact two-digit number in Round 1 | 80 : 1 | INR 800.00 |
| Direct Single (S/R) | Exact two-digit number in Round 2 | 70 : 1 | INR 700.00 |
| Forecast / Four-Digit Pair | Correctly predicting both F/R and S/R | 4,000 : 1 | INR 40,000.00 |
| House / Ending Line | Grouping of 10 numbers sharing first or last digit | 8 : 1 (Net) | INR 80.00 per winning unit |
2. Income Tax Deductions under Section 393 (Income-tax Act, 2025)
Under Section 393 of the Indian Income-tax Act, 2025 (effective April 1, 2026, consolidating Section 194B of the 1961 Act), winnings from lotteries, card games, betting, or gambling exceeding INR 10,000 in a single transaction are subject to mandatory Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) at the flat rate of 30% plus applicable cess (Section 194 charging provision). For historical financial years, Section 194B and Section 115BB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 govern earlier assessments.
For state paper lotteries like Nagaland Dear Lottery (top prize INR 1 Crore), the distributing authority deducts the TDS component prior to disbursing the net prize sum to the claimant via account payee cheque or RTGS transfer. In contrast, smaller localized Teer archery counter payouts below INR 10,000 are settled in cash by registered counter operators upon surrender of the valid original physical receipt.
3. Verification Protocol for Physical Slips
Claimants must present the intact original paper slip bearing the legible counter code, booking date, chosen combination, and amount staked. Torn, altered, or duplicate slips are rendered invalid under Meghalaya betting regulations. In case of dispute over counter booking records, the physical carbon copy maintained in the licensed bookmaker register serves as the final evidentiary record.
