🚌“There is a lot of confusion regarding the legalities of operations when it comes to permit systems and taxation concerns loom large. All states need to work towards streamlining taxation concerns and adoption of All India Transport Permit to streamline operations.”

The Parliament just passed the Online Gaming Bill - without debate. Since yesterday, my colleague @GuhaDeepro and I spoke to several journalists across leading publications to share our perspective on this move. The biggest problem with this legislation is the disregard for

Apple may allow sideloading and other app stores on its mobiles in the EU to comply with the DMA. Regulators all over the world will surely be watching this development. At @tqh_policy we had done a study earlier with @adif_India that looked at gatekeeping in the mobile OS

Recently, the US FTC for the first time brought an enforcement against algorithmic bias. As other jurisdictions start actioning against such problematic practices, it maybe an appropriate time for India to also do so. I had written on this issue in @EconomicTimes

That is why we need a risk based classification framework that clearly lays out platform obligations based on the risks posed by the platform. Without such guidance, a new #DigitIndiaAct will run into the same issues. @rohitkr_RK @GuhaDeepro #ITrules

A significant diplomatic win for India with another Eurozone country under the #UPI belt. In 2022, @GuhaDeepro and @aishwarya_2306 wrote on the potential #UPI has for expanding India’s diplomatic capabilities and the sheer speed of Indian Digitisation in the past decade.

@ThePrintIndia @yuthikabhargava Even if there is an initial increase in tax collection, with the imposition of a higher tax rate, the overall taxable pool is likely to shrink in the near to long term with users opting out of gaming due to high costs, and some companies choosing to withdraw from the sector.

@ThePrintIndia @yuthikabhargava While the increase in percentage of taxation would undoubtedly add to financial burden of online gaming companies, the change in taxed amount (face value vs platform fee) will likely have more devastating implications like the potential closure of smaller online gaming businesses
