मेरी Query यह है कि --- 1- क्या GST में सट्टा पर टैक्स लगेगा / किस धारा में आयेगा / GST रजिस्ट्रेशन किस प्रकार होगा

2- अगर लगेगा तो Tax Rate क्या होगा और कौन जमा करेगा, क्या खेलने वालों से टैक्स वसूला जायेगा

3- अगर टैक्स लगता है तो प्रिंसिपल value क्या होगी Rs 100000-00 या 20000-00 ( 100000-80000=20000=00 )

4 - GST Return कौन से Form में File कि जायगी
