BCCI is the richest cricket board in the world of cricket. Its annual income is in billions. Cricket boards around the world accept this fact and often make allegations about it. Given the income and power of the board, it is difficult to imagine that this board would be in debt to Mumbai Police and the board has not yet been able to pay its money to the police. Now the Mumbai High Court has reprimanded BCCI in this matter.

Mumbai Police owes Rs 6.3 crore to BCCI:
The BCCI had assured the Mumbai High Court on Friday that they would pay the dues to Mumbai, Pimpri Chinchwad and Navi Mumbai Police within two weeks for the security provided during the match. Further, the cricket board had said, ‘We owe Rs 1.7 crore to Pimpri Chinchwad Police, Rs 3.3 crore to Navi Mumbai Police and Rs 1.03 crore to Mumbai Police.’ That is, the Mumbai Police owes the BCCI Rs 6.3 crore. In response to a petition filed by activist Anil Galgali, the BCCI said, ‘BCCI promises to pay this amount within two weeks.’ Galgali had filed a petition challenging the Maharashtra government’s decision to allow the Indian Premier League (IPL), T20 and other cricket matches in June 2023. The rates fixed for police security were reduced with retrospective effect from the year 2011. In this petition, the activist objected to the circular that came into effect with retrospective effect from the year 2011. Because after that, the amount due to BCCI will also reduce. BCCI said in its affidavit, ‘We have no intention of depriving the police of the outstanding debts of BCCI and promise to pay the disputed amount within 90 days of settlement of accounts with the concerned police officials.’
