February 23, 2025 at 4:03 amOne of my classmates earns 4 lpm by just selling tickets in black. He may or may not be lying about the extent of his profits, but I just want to know are there any legal ramifications on doing so? -

February 23, 2025 at 4:39 amIf organizers deliberately create an artificial demand-supply gap and run it like a racket, it can be illegal under anti-profiteering and unfair trade practice laws.However, if an individual resells a few tickets for a quick profit, it is unethical but not necessarily illegal, unless done at scale or in violation of specific state laws.
Laws like the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, IPC (cheating and fraud sections), and state-specific anti-scalping laws may apply in cases of organized or large-scale black marketing.

February 23, 2025 at 4:56 amYes, you should show it as “income from other sources”. Since ticket scalping is illegal, authorities may also impose penalties under Section 271(1)(c) for concealment of income.-

February 23, 2025 at 6:33 amScalpers aren’t looked upon favorably since they sell tickets at very high premiums. If I there was a gig I really wanted to go to and I was forced to pay a hefty bonus to you for essentially doing no work, I’d absolutely report you since I’m savvy enough to know how to complain about your activities.-
