india is one of the most taxed nations in the world. Fuel, food, medicine — nothing escapes GST. But there’s one holy cow that pays 0% tax: cricket in india-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>the board of control for cricket in india (BCCI). Yes, the richest cricket body in the world, minting thousands of crores, still enjoys tax-free status. Now you know why politicians — especially from the bjp and their dynasties — line up to grab cricket administration posts. It’s not about the game, it’s about the gravy. Here’s how this tax-free circus works:
1. BCCI: The Billion-Dollar “Charity”
bcci pretends to be a “charitable body” while pocketing IPL billions. In BJP’s india, even cancer hospitals get taxed, but BCCI? Pure blessings, 0%. Apparently, fixing cricket is easier than fixing taxation.
2. Politicians love Wickets, Not Work
From arun jaitley in delhi cricket to anurag thakur in Himachal, bjp leaders treat cricket boards as family businesses. Why? Because it’s a money machine with no tax meter. Why sweat in parliament when you can sit in a VIP box and get richer?
3. Sons, Nephews, and the cricket Dynasty League
It’s not just bjp netas — their kids and nephews suddenly develop a “love for cricket administration.” Spoiler: It’s not about nurturing talent, it’s about nurturing bank accounts.
4. 0% Tax = 100% Greed
Every small shopkeeper pays GST, every salaried employee pays TDS. But bcci, with crores in broadcast rights, sponsorships, and IPL auctions, pays nothing. Why? Because politicians won’t tax the goose that lays their golden eggs.
5. cricket Fans Pay, Politicians Play
From overpriced match tickets to GST on jerseys and snacks, fans bleed money. The government collects taxes from the audience but spares the billion-dollar board. Because in this game, the public are only extras, while politicians play the lead role.
👉 Final whistle (or Final Over?):
BCCI isn’t just about cricket — it’s about power, privilege, and political greed. And as long as bjp (and its neta-boys) milk it tax-free, the real losers are the fans and citizens who keep paying for everything else.
🎭 In Modi’s India: chapati gets GST. Bidi gets GST. But BCCI? Divine exemption.
