2. Accordingly, based on the recommendation of the GST Council, the GST rate for supplyof lottery has been notified under relevant GST rate notification relating toCGST/IGST/UTGST/SGST. However, entries in the respective notifications mentionclassification for lottery as -.

3. In this connection, references have been received, inter-alia, stating that due todiscrepancy in code allotted, i.e., lottery is defined as goods but code allotted for lottery is underservices, the assessees are not able to upload return or deposit tax in time.
