The Honourable Supreme Court of India has declared Rummy a skill-based game and the same declaration makes Rummy legal, irrespective of the fact if you’re playing at home with family or online with people just like you. Unlike other gambling games, rummy is not based on luck and probability but on the skills of the players. According to the Supreme Court of India rummy is a game of skill as players need to rely on their memory about the fall of their cards to make their moves and win. Although online rummy is 100% legal, the states of Assam, Orissa and Telangana are exempt due to laws being vague in these states.
