The platform of the upcoming Test series of 5 matches between India and England has been decorated. This high-voltage series will start with the first match in Headingley from 20 June. Along with both teams, cricket fans are also desperate to enjoy the thrill. Before this series, BCCI has taken a big decision. Actually, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has made changes in daily allowances and travel policy for its employees. Under these changes, employees will now get a new daily allowance policy and some old allowances have been removed.

BCCI took this big decision

BCCI has made significant changes in daily allowances and travel policy for its employees. Under the old policy, employees used to get a daily allowance of Rs 15,000 per day for a trip to short -term (four days) and a daily allowance of Rs 10000 per day for a long -term journey (eg IPL, WPL, or ICC events in India). Apart from this, a casual allowance of Rs 7500 was also given. According to the new policy, contingency allowance has been removed. Now the employees will get an uniform daily allowance of Rs 10000 per day during the journey. According to a BCCI source, the effective daily allowance after the tax deduction will be around Rs 6,500 per day.

The payment will be made soon

Since the policy was to be changed, BCCI employees including Finance, Operations and Media Departments were not paid their daily allowances for IPL and WPL. However, now the policy is ready, then their dues will be paid soon. Regarding this, the source said, ‘A clear policy was required in the case of allowances as some employees were claiming allowances despite working from Mumbai headquarters during the tournament. Now that the policy is ready, the dues will be paid soon.

Allowance will be available according to the journey!

The IPL lasts for more than two months and ICC events also last for at least one month. In such a situation, if an employee is traveling for the IPL for 70 days, then he will be eligible to claim a total of Rs 7 lakh per day at Rs 10,000 per day. At the same time, employees who have a journey limited during IPL, they will be eligible to claim only 60% of the 70 -day allowance and employees who do not travel at all (such as working in Mumbai headquarters) can claim only 40% of the 70 -day allowance.

How much payment for traveling abroad

Most BCCI employees are paid US $ 300 per day for foreign visits. Honorary officials including Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, Vice President and Joint Secretary get a daily allowance of US $ 1000 per day on foreign tours. Officials are paid Rs 40000 for a one -day meeting within India and Rs 30000 per day for multi -day domestic work journey.
