BCCI Pays ₹3,000 Crore Tax Amid Supreme Court Review of Sports Governance Act Applicability
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) pays approximately ₹3,000 crore annually in income tax and maintains financial independence through commercial revenues. The BCCI is currently not designated under the National Sports Governance Act (NSG Act) of 2025, which has prompted Supreme Court scrutiny regarding whether the Act should govern its office-bearers' service terms. The board asserts it will comply once officially notified, emphasizing that cricket is yet to be recognized as a designated sport under the Act.
