BCCI Cuts Allowances, Streamlines Travel Policy; Will Release Pending Allowances
BCCI will release pending daily allowances for staff after revising policy. BCCI The daily allowances for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) staff across departments, pending since January, will be released following the board's senior management streamlining the domestic 'tournament allowance policy'. Under the existing BCCI travel policy, employees receive a per diem of Rs 15,000 for short-term travel (up to four days) and Rs 10,000 for long-term travel, typically for the Indian Premier League (IPL), Women's Premier League (WPL), and ICC events hosted by India. A one-time incidental allowance of Rs 7,500 is also provided during travel. The revised policy removes the incidental allowance. Employees will now receive a flat rate of Rs 10,000 per day while travelling. The IPL window lasts slightly over two months, and ICC events last at least a month. A BCCI source told PTI that after tax deductions at source, the per-day allowance amounts to Rs 6,500. Due to the impending policy revision, BCCI staff, including finance, operations, and media departments, have not received their daily allowances for the IPL and WPL. With the policy now finalised, their dues should be settled soon. 'A clear cut policy was needed in terms of allowances as some employees were claiming allowances even when they were operating out of the Mumbai headquarters during tournaments. Now that it has been devised, the dues will be cleared soon," added the source. For example, an employee travelling for the entire 70-day IPL would receive a daily allowance of Rs 10,000, totalling Rs 7 lakh. Those with limited travel during the IPL can claim only 60 per cent of the 70-day allowance, while those not travelling at all can claim 40 per cent of the amount accrued for 70 days. For foreign travel, most BCCI employees receive USD 300 per day. Honorary office-bearers, including the president, secretary, treasurer, vice-president, and joint secretary, receive a daily allowance of USD 1,000 on foreign tours. They also receive Rs 40,000 for a one-day meeting within India and Rs 30,000 per day for multi-day domestic work trips. First Published:
