BCCI Introduces Revised Allowances for Employees, Outlining New Financial Policies

The BCCI has updated its allowance structure for employees, simplifying its domestic travel policy. These adjustments, implemented this year, affect employee allowances. Based on the existing policy, employees receive ₹15,000 per day during short-term travel (up to four days) and ₹10,000 per day during long-term travel. This long-term travel includes events like the IPL, WPL, and ICC programs hosted in India. A single visit contingency allowance in conveyance was ₹7,500. With the updated policy, the casual allowance has been removed, and the policy provides employees with ₹10,000 per day during travel. Sources from BCCI indicate the daily allowance, excluding tax, is ₹6,500. For the duration of the 70-day IPL, an employee is entitled to receive a daily allowance of ₹10,000 and can claim up to ₹7 lakh. The claim is adjusted based on how much they travel; if they travel less, a 60% allowance is provided, and if they travel less than 40% of the IPL period, no allowance is provided. For foreign travel, the majority of BCCI employees are entitled to $300 per day. Honorary officials such as the President, Secretary, Treasurer, Vice-President, and Joint Secretary are entitled to a daily allowance of $1,000 when on foreign tours. They also receive ₹40,000 daily compensation for one-day meetings in India and ₹30,000 each day for domestic work trips that last multiple days.
