In the appeal towards the Union Finance Minister, Sukesh has expressed his ardent admiration for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying “As of today, being a proud Indian, under the great leadership of our Prime Minister Modi Ji, I want to contribute my part towards the world class development of this great nation. Henceforth by willingly paying Indian taxes on my overseas income, and further investing my overseas income here in India. Hereby to start I am hereby declaring my legitimate overseas income of Rs. 7,640 Crores for the year 2024 and wanting to pay the appropriate taxes in accordance to Indian Tax laws on immediate basis,”
The 34-year Old has revealed business operations across prominent locations in the USA, Spain, UK, Dubai and Hong Kong, generating an eye-watering $2.7 billion in 2024. Asserting the legality of his income sources, Sukesh has proposed to invest his income towards the betterment of technology and advancing skill-based online gaming
Although dishing out ₹7,640 Crore may not absolve all of his penal liabilities, Sukesh can take solace in the fact that some damage control may be done to minimize the heat on his back.
