Does BCCI pay tax to Indian Government ?

BCCI Board of Control for Cricket in India.

BCCI is a society registered under Tamil-Nadu Societies Registration Act.
It has 27 state associations members across 5 zones.
And it conducts various domestic cricket competitions including the Ranji Trophy.

If we open the official website of BCCI and If you try to find about BCCI and its history, Surprisingly and stupidly you will only Office bearers and an administrative team. Nothing more !!!!!

In the context of above and popularity of 20-20 cricket, one question has raised in my mind. How much money does BCCI pay to the Indian Tax Authorities.

I have come across the Wikipedia article. BCCI is registered as a society. There is no question of payment of taxes. So, how much BCCI is earning and accumulating over the period of 82 years since it's inception.

Nobody know how much the BCCI is earning and accumulating. If you look into the composition of the board members, you fill mostly either politicians or industrialists.

There seems to be one motive for BCCI : making money as much as possible.
Since it is registered as a society, it's income and expenses need not be in public domain. I am wondering what the Regional Commissioner's of Societies are monitoring all these days.

Does BCCI is promoting cricket domestically ? We all know how much money or percentage of income BCCI is channeled into domestic cricket. negligible.

I hope some day Income Tax Authorities will send a notice to BCCI regarding the payment of Tax on it's income.

The End.
