India : India’s first comprehensive approach to classify online games as skill-based, through a scientific and data driven method, The Skill Games Framework, has been launched as “An Objective Framework to Determine Permissible Online Real Money Games”. Developed by renowned statistician Padma Shri Professor (Dr.) Bimal Roy in collaboration with The Dialogue, marks a significant step in regulating the country’s booming online gaming market.
This groundbreaking initiative is the product of extensive engagement and consultation with industry experts, game developers, legal advisors, gamers, making the Framework a collaborative effort.
The report published by The Dialogue is the first version of the framework, which plans to continuously evolve based on further feedback from the industry, the government and emerging trends in the gaming industry so that it remains a dynamic and reliable tool for determining the legality of online real-money games in India.
Until now, India has lacked an industry-wide standardised mechanism to differentiate between skill-based and chance-based games. While court rulings have classified certain games and have laid down a qualitative test, there has been no consistent scientific test for game classification. The Framework addresses this gap by offering an objective, transparent, data-backed solution that regulators, developers and the judiciary can trust. By doing so, it ensures that legitimate skill-based games are appropriately classified, protecting both the integrity of the gaming market and the interests of players.
Professor (Dr.) Bimal Roy, a leading authority in statistics and cryptology, is the former Chairman of the National Statistical Commission, Government of India, former Director of the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) and a recipient of the Padma Shri award. His vast expertise in data analysis and statistical methodologies has played a pivotal role in developing the framework, ensuring it meets the highest standards of scientific rigour. Professor Roy’s work provides a globally credible and innovative tool to regulate India’s online real-money games sector.
Speaking on the release of the framework, Professor Roy stated, “In a world where online gaming is rapidly evolving, regulatory clarity is paramount. The Framework offers not just a solution for today’s challenges but a foundation for the future of gaming regulation in India. This initiative will provide the confidence that all stakeholders- players, regulators, and developers – need to thrive in a fair and regulated environment. Our goal is to empower both regulators and developers with a tool that champions fairness and ensures that skill-based gaming thrives under a transparent, data-driven system.”
Core Components of Roy’s Framework: At the heart of Roy’s Framework are three core tests designed to determine the role of skill in game outcomes:
* Persistence of Skill: Analyzes whether top players consistently perform better over time, indicating that the game relies on skill.
* Experience Gap: Measures whether experienced players regularly outperform other players, demonstrating that skill significantly affects performance.
* Exemplary Skill: Identifies individuals with outstanding performance, underscoring the role of skill in determining success.
These tests are supported by advanced statistical tools such as the Chi-Square Test and Pearson Correlation Test. The framework leverages real-world data to ensure accuracy, consistency, and adaptability across various online gaming formats.
Kazim Rizvi, Founding Director of The Dialogue, a prominent voice in India’s tech policy landscape, remarked, “The launch of the Framework marks an important moment for India’s online gaming landscape, which provides a method to empirically classify games of skill. This objective and scientifically validated approach will help regulators distinguish between games of skill and chance, provide guidance to the developers, and subsequently help safeguard players’ interests. It offers the much-needed protection against misleading game classifications and unfair practices, ensuring that players engage in legitimate, skill-based games. We are thankful to have worked alongside Dr. Bimal Roy and other stakeholders to make this a reality.”
The Framework is set to revolutionise the online gaming landscape by providing a clear, consistent, and statistically valid approach to game classification. The blend of legal insights and statistical precision offers a trustworthy method for assessing games promoting fairness, transparency, and integrity in India’s online real-money gaming sector.
“Our framework has three key objectives: First, it extends the existing jurisprudence by offering a quantitative method to distinguish between games of skill and games of chance, allowing for a more precise and objective determination. Second, it serves as a tool to differentiate legitimate platforms from illegitimate ones, ensuring fair competition and consumer protection. Third, it aims to establish an industry standard that can be widely adopted, fostering trust and credibility in the sector,” explains Kriti Singh, Chief of Staff and Programme Manager of Gaming Policy at The Dialogue.
As India’s gaming industry continues its rapid growth, the Framework will play a crucial role in regulating the space, ensuring that only games grounded in skill are legally permitted. Furthermore, the framework’s ongoing development will ensure it remains responsive to industry needs, with future updates reflecting feedback from all stakeholders.
The developers hope for widespread adoption of the framework by self-regulatory bodies and the government.

Key financial year obligations for business owners
The financial year-end is a critical time for business owners, as it marks the completion of their annual financial reporting and tax obligations. To ensure you meet all your obligations, it’s essential to have a clear understanding of the key tasks that need to be completed. Here are some of the most important financial year obligations for business owners:
* Preparing for tax season
Tax season can be overwhelming, especially for business owners who are not familiar with the intricacies of tax laws. To make the process smoother, it’s important to start preparing well in advance. Begin by gathering all the necessary financial documents, such as income statements, balance sheets, and expense records. Organize your records and ensure they are complete and accurate. This will save you valuable time and prevent any last-minute scrambling.
Once your financial records are in order, it’s time to calculate your taxable income and determine your tax liability. Consider consulting with a tax professional to ensure you make the most of available deductions and credits. Additionally, familiarize yourself with the tax deadlines and any changes in tax laws that may impact your business. By being proactive and well-prepared, you can minimize your tax liability and avoid any penalties or fines.
* Managing financial records and bookkeeping
Accurate and up-to-date financial records are essential for any business. Not only do they provide a snapshot of your company’s financial health, but they are also crucial for tax reporting and compliance purposes. As the financial year comes to a close, take the time to review your financial records and ensure they are complete and accurate.
If you haven’t already, consider implementing a bookkeeping system to streamline your record-keeping process. This can include using accounting software or hiring a professional bookkeeper. A well-maintained bookkeeping system will not only save you time but also provide you with valuable insights into your business’s financial performance.
Regularly reconcile your bank accounts, review your profit and loss statements, and keep track of your accounts receivable and accounts payable. By staying on top of your financial records throughout the year, you’ll have a much easier time during the financial year-end.
* Understanding tax deductions and credits
As a business owner, you have access to a range of tax deductions and credits that can help reduce your tax liability. It’s important to have a clear understanding of these deductions and credits to ensure you are taking full advantage of them.
Common tax deductions for businesses include expenses related to employee salaries, rent, utilities, office supplies, and marketing. Additionally, you may be eligible for deductions related to business travel, professional development, and certain types of equipment purchases. Research and familiarize yourself with the specific deductions and credits that apply to your business to ensure you don’t miss out on any potential tax savings.
Remember, tax laws change regularly, so it’s important to stay updated on any new deductions or credits that may become available. Consulting with a tax professional can help ensure you are maximizing your tax benefits and staying in compliance with the latest regulations.
* Maximizing tax planning strategies
Tax planning is not just a year-end activity; it should be an ongoing process throughout the year. By implementing effective tax planning strategies, you can minimize your tax liability and optimize your financial performance.
One common tax planning strategy is to make estimated tax payments throughout the year. By paying your taxes in installments, you can avoid a large tax bill at the end of the financial year. Additionally, consider deferring income or accelerating expenses to strategically manage your taxable income.
Another effective tax planning strategy is to invest in retirement plans or other tax-advantaged accounts. Contributions to these accounts are often tax-deductible, providing you with immediate tax savings. Consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to determine the best tax planning strategies for your specific situation.
*Compliance with regulatory requirements
In addition to tax obligations, businesses are also subject to various regulatory requirements that need to be met by the end of the financial year. This may include filing annual reports with regulatory bodies, renewing licenses and permits, and ensuring compliance with industry-specific regulations.
To avoid potential penalties or legal issues, it’s crucial to stay updated on the regulatory requirements that apply to your business. Create a checklist of all the regulatory obligations you need to fulfill and ensure they are completed before the financial year-end. Consider seeking legal advice or consulting with industry experts to ensure you are in full compliance with all applicable regulations.
* Hiring an accountant or tax professional
Managing financial year obligations can be complex and time-consuming, especially for small business owners who may not have the necessary expertise. Hiring an accountant or tax professional can provide valuable support and guidance throughout the process.
An experienced accountant can help you navigate the complexities of tax laws, identify potential tax savings opportunities, and ensure your financial records are accurate and up to date. They can also provide advice on tax planning strategies and help you make informed financial decisions.
When hiring an accountant or tax professional, be sure to choose someone with experience in your industry and a track record of success. Consider asking for recommendations from other business owners or seeking referrals from professional organizations. A qualified professional can be a valuable asset and help ensure you meet all your financial year obligations efficiently and effectively.
* Utilizing software and tools for financial management
Technology has revolutionized the way businesses manage their finances. There are numerous software and tools available that can streamline your financial management processes and make your life easier.
Consider investing in accounting software that automates tasks such as invoicing, expense tracking, and financial reporting. This can save you time and reduce the risk of human error. Additionally, there are tools available that can help you manage your payroll, track employee hours, and stay compliant with tax regulations.
Take the time to research and choose the right software and tools for your business. Look for solutions that are user-friendly, scalable, and offer the features you need. Integrating technology into your financial management processes can significantly improve efficiency and accuracy, allowing you to focus on growing your business.
Conclusion: Taking control of your financial year obligations
As a business owner, meeting your financial year obligations is crucial for the long-term success of your business. By staying ahead of the curve and following our complete guide, you can navigate this period with ease and confidence.
