The text of the amendment required for taxing internet gambling was discussed during the meeting. It was determined during the conference held last month.

A disagreement about taxing online gaming
A meeting was organized on Wednesday to discuss the implementation of this choice.

Other states, including Karnataka, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh, wanted the decision made at the previous meeting to be carried out, according to the finance minister.
