In the case of transactions struck before it has been officially notified that a horse has been withdrawn before coming under Starters Orders., or the Stewards have declared a horse a non-starter, if the Stewards consider that such withdrawal of the horse from the race, would have any material effect on the odds of the remaining horses, the liability of the layer on the win and place transactions on the race may be reduced in accordance with the following scale depending on the current odds against the withdrawn  horse at the time of such official notification.

a)               If the current odds are evens or odds on, by 50 ps. in the Rupee.

b)               If over evens and under 4 to 1 by 25 ps. in the Rupee.

c)               If 4 to 1 and under 10 to 1, by 12 ps. in the Rupee.

d)               If 10 to 1 or over, the liability will remain unchanged.

However, in case where there is/are more than one horse being declared a non-starter/withdrawn, the deduction would be calculated on the shortest/lowest odds prevailing on the withdrawn horses.

In the event of a Dead-Heat, the Bookmakers liability (including investment) will be reduced by 50% e.g., for an effective transaction of Rs.100 for win/place, say at 5-1 i.e., Rs.500/100, a punter will receive Rs.300/- if the horse he/she has backed dead-heats with another horse for Win or Place.
