BCCI ‘constitution’ made available on website

The board has also changed its tax-auditor firm to a 'reputed' one based in Mumbai. The changes have taken place within three days of Shashank Manohar's appointment as president of the BCCI.

The changes have indicated the swiftness of new BCCI head Shashank Manohar's 'cleanliness' agenda

In line with president Shashank Manohar's declaration of the reforms that will be carried out, the BCCI today uploaded its 'Constitution' on the official website and also removed the Chennai-based tax auditor firm. The Constitution book, formally known as Memorandum And Rules and Regulations, last revised in September 2012 is there for all to view on bcci.tv . There are 52 pages with various heads and sub-heads.

As it has been reported, the BCCI has also shifted the treasurer's office from Chennai to Mumbai. “The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to shift its Treasury office from Chennai to Mumbai. Keeping in mind that all tax matters of the BCCI are with the Income Tax Office in Mumbai, the Board has decided to hire a Tax Advisor and Internal Auditor that operates out of Mumbai,” BCCI said in a statement.

“Accordingly, the BCCI has hired M/S Gokhale & Sathe, a reputed firm based in Mumbai and having extensive experience in Trust matters, as its advisor on Direct Tax matters and as an Internal Auditor for the accounting year 2015-16 with immediate effect, in replacement of PB Vijayraghavan & Co.
