Govt plans independent regulator for online gaming

The Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) is considering the incorporation of an independent regulator for online gaming in India. This comes after the idea of a self-regulatory body was scrapped. The National Law University (NLU) Delhi, in collaboration with the E-Gaming Federation (EGF), is consulting with industry stakeholders to determine the future direction of gaming regulations. Recommendations are expected to be submitted to MeitY after the elections. The online gaming industry in India is seeking regulatory guidelines to address issues such as money laundering and taxation. The sector currently contributes to India's digital economy and has become the largest gaming market globally.
