Example Calculation
What drives the pool up?
More premium subscriptions across all creators' networks = larger total pool = higher individual rewards. This is why helping your referred users understand the value of Premium benefits everyone in the network.
Minimum to qualify
1,000 GTM Equities - equivalent to 4 premium conversions at ₹449 each. Creators below this threshold do not participate in the reward pool distribution.
Disbursement timeline
GTM Equity rewards are disbursed within 90 days of the official contest end date, subject to KYC completion, fraud verification, and audit by Talkfever's finance team.
TDS and your
tax obligations
TDS Deduction
All cash or cash-equivalent rewards exceeding ₹10,000 are subject to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under the Indian Income Tax Act. Talkfever will deduct TDS before reward disbursement as required by law (Section 194B/194BA where applicable). The reward amount shown in all tables is the gross amount before TDS.
Your Tax Responsibilities
Participants are solely responsible for declaring all rewards received from Talkfever as income in their annual tax return as per the laws of their jurisdiction. For non-resident Indian (NRI) participants, additional withholding tax may apply under DTAA provisions. Talkfever recommends consulting a qualified Chartered Accountant before claiming rewards.
TDS Certificate
Talkfever will issue Form 16A (TDS certificate) to all creators from whom TDS has been deducted, within the timelines prescribed by the Income Tax Department. This certificate can be used to claim TDS credit while filing your ITR. KYC documents including PAN card are mandatory for reward disbursement.
GTM Equity is a proprietary reward unit of Talkfever. It is NOT a financial security, equity share, debenture, or investment instrument of any kind. All disputes are subject to jurisdiction of courts in India. Talkfever reserves the right to modify reward tiers, timelines, or contest rules with 7 days notice.
