Dear Community,
I'm thrilled to share that I've reportedly won an iPhone 16 Pro as part of the Tata IPL Power Play promotion!
However, before the prize can be dispatched, I've been asked to pay a 30% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on the prize value directly on the income tax website and then share the challan as proof of payment.
I'm seeking urgent advice from the community: Is this a standard and legitimate procedure for prize winnings in India? While the communication channels (email ID, phone number from Tata Neu) appear valid, I want to ensure I follow the correct process and avoid any potential issues.
Your insights and experiences with similar prize winnings or TDS payment requests would be highly valuable before I proceed with the payment.
