Cricket is not our national game.
Hockey is our national game

Establishing cricket coaching, playing commercial matches making profits of millions and billion of rupees, arranging 20/20 matches, staying in five star hotels and live life like a king, how can it become a charitable public work.



Where do we find the charitable purpose of BCCI?

One will ask what the problem is if BCCI is registered as a charitable Organization.
BCCI, is registered under Section 12 (A) of the Income Tax Act as a trust, was availing of an income-tax exemption under Section 11 by claiming to be a charitable organization. It had said the promotion of cricket is a public utility.

As per the changes made in the Finance Act, 2008-09, a “charitable purpose” includes relief for poor, education, medical relief, and the advancement of any other object of general public utility.
As a charitable organization the organization pays very less taxes as good as no taxes.

By claiming and getting the status of Charitable Organization BCCI has saved more than Rs 100 Crore of taxes.

How does promotion of Game becomes public utility, furthermore this game is not our national game.

What BCCI has done for the cricket, how many school grounds they have created?
What Social good BCCI has done for India?

What Indian Cricket Team or BCCI head has done for the farmers who are committing suicide?
Which type of Social Service BCCI has done for India, Indian Poor People, and Education?

If BCCI is a charitable organization then every hospital, every insurance company, every medical professional should get 100% tax relief, because no one does the social duty like them.

A charitable trust is one which is established for the benefit of the public as a whole or is devoted to an activity for public good.

Truth is that BCCI is just a commericial company like Tata, Reliance and Wipro.
And they should pay the taxes.

India needs to change the law of charitable trust and organizations,
Current laws are very confusing and any intelligent lawyer will prove in the court that BCCI is charitable organization.

Like the BCCI don’t know how many Organizations, companies are not paying taxes to India and evading taxes of millions of rupees.
