Delta Corp's Latest Updates
Delta Corp recently saw an uptick in share price, similar to that of other gaming companies, after the Supreme Court agreed to hear the pleas of online gaming companies that were seeking a stay on GST show cause notices.
The Supreme Court went on to grant a stay on the proceedings.
The show cause notices, which are related to the imposition of a 28% Goods and Services Tax on online gaming companies, had been a cause of concern for the industry.
"This development underscores the evolving legal and policy landscape for online gaming in India, with the Supreme Court’s eventual ruling likely to shape the future of the industry," said Abhishek A Rastogi, founder of Rastogi Chambers, who is representing the gaming companies before the Supreme Court.
For now, the industry is awaiting the Supreme Court's final ruling in March.
