BCCI pays around 3000 crore rupees in annual income tax, Saikia says

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told state units that the board pays an average of 3000 crore rupees in income tax each year. The board has not yet been notified as a designated sport under the National Sports Governance Act, so state associations will continue to conduct elections under their existing constitutions.

Saikia said the BCCI will provide clarification to the Supreme Court on October 27 regarding the Sports Act. The Central Information Commission has already ruled that the BCCI does not fall under the RTI Act definition of a public authority.

The board generates revenue through media rights, sponsorships, broadcasting deals and ticket sales.
