The Board of Control for Cricket in India has been caught up in some legal battles of late. While the board lately received a boost as the International Cricket Council asked the Pakistan Cricket Board to pay 60% of BCCI's legal fees, they have now been asked by the ICC to either pay USD 23 million (Rs 161 crore) by the end of this year as reimbursement for the tax deductions incurred in hosting the 2016 World T20 or end up losing the 2023 World Cup rights.
In the ICC board conference, held in Singapore in October, the minutes of the talks read that the BCCI would have to reimburse for the tax deductions that the ICC faced as India hosted the 2016 World T20, after no exemption in taxes was provided by either the state or the central government. The ICC has also warned the Indian board that a failure to meet the terms with the demands would make them deducts the amount from the revenue share for the continuing financial year.
India is likely to host the 2021 Champions Trophy and the 2023 World Cup, which once more would come under risk if BCCI fails to meet ICC's demands.
