Updated Prize Money Disbursement Policy (Champion & Runner-Up Categories)
To promote sustained excellence and encourage continued participation within the ISNEE community, the prize money for the Champion and Runner-Up categories will follow a revised disbursement structure:
- 60% of the prize money will be disbursed to the winning team via bank transfer.
- 40% of the prize money will be adjusted towards the registration fee for the team's participation in the immediate next edition of the competition.
The cash disbursed amount will be subject to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) as per the prevailing Income Tax Act, Government of India. The net amount received by the team will reflect these statutory deductions.
The registration fee adjustment portion is non-transferable, non-refundable, and valid exclusively for the next immediate edition. If not utilized, this benefit will lapse.
Prizes for all other categories will continue to be disbursed in full, subject to applicable taxes as per standard guidelines.
