The report attributed both figures to Tax Buddy founder Sanjit Bangar. The underlying orders were not available for independent review, so the reasons for the reductions and the precise scope of the amounts cannot be confirmed from the report alone.
What the report says the final orders determined
The reported figures are substantially lower than the historical demands, but they should be read as figures relayed by Business Today from Bangar—not as independently verified extracts from the adjudication orders.
| Company | Earlier demand reported | Amount in final order as reported | Source and qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delta Corp | About ₹16,000 crore | ₹117 crore | Business Today, 3 October 2026; figures attributed to Sanjit Bangar. The order itself was not independently reviewed. |
| Pacific Gaming | ₹721 crore | ₹100.8 crore | Business Today, 3 October 2026; figures attributed to Sanjit Bangar. The order itself was not independently reviewed. |
These comparisons describe the reported historical demand and final-order amount; they do not establish the full period, transactions, tax calculation or other conduct covered by either order. Nor does the report establish whether either company appealed or obtained a stay.
Why were the demands cut?
The available report gives the headline figures but does not establish the legal reasoning behind either decision. Without the orders, it is not possible to say whether the reductions followed from a change in the tax base, a calculation issue, the period covered, the evidence, or another legal finding. Those possibilities should not be treated as explanations for these cases.

#1 Best Overall
The policy backdrop is the GST Council’s 2023 change providing for 28% GST on relevant online gaming supplies, effective from 1 October 2023. The Council’s explanatory material describes valuation by amounts paid or payable to, or deposited with, the supplier by or for the player, with specified treatment for winnings from earlier games. That framework helps explain why significant historical disputes arose, but it does not prove how either company’s final-order amount was calculated.
Were directors personally penalised?
Business Today said no personal penalties had been imposed on directors in the cases covered so far. That is a limited report about the cases it discussed, not a rule that directors are categorically exempt from personal penalties and not a prediction about other proceedings. The available material does not provide the orders’ director-specific reasoning.

What about Dream11 and Gameskraft?
Business Today reported on 3 October 2026 that final orders involving Dream11 and Gameskraft were expected by 14 October 2026. That was the report’s expectation at publication, not a confirmed deadline or outcome. No conclusion about those companies’ orders can be drawn from that forecast.

What readers can and cannot conclude
- What the report supports: it relays much lower final-order amounts for Delta Corp and Pacific Gaming than the earlier demands, and reports no director penalties in the cases covered so far.
- What remains unestablished: the orders’ detailed findings, the calculation and scope of each amount, any appeal or stay, and whether the reported director-penalty position applies beyond those cases.
- What the policy context does not prove: the 28% framework recorded by the GST Council does not, by itself, explain either company-specific reduction or mean every repeated bet is taxed as a separate amount.
