When a specific provision, S. 194BB, has been provided for dealing with the horse races, general provision, S. 194B, cannot be used to affix liability on the assessee. [CBDT Circular No. 8 of 2005 dt 29-08-2005(2005) 277 ITR 20 (St)] It held that horse racing is a \u201cskill-based game\u201d and not a \u201cluck-based game\u201d and hence, S. 194 BB will not be applicable to the \u2018stake money\u2019. Stake money is different from \u2018winnings\u2019 under S. 194BB and is not taxable under it [CBDT circular No. 240 dt. 17.05.1978 (2017) 117 ITR 17(St)].
