Even after 14 months of the Indian women's team playing in the T20 World Cup final in Melbourne, they have not been given prize money. While the winning team Australia and England who reached the semi-finals have been given the winning amount.
What has been revealed in a UK report is that Australia, the winner of the T20 World Cup final match in Melbourne, was paid the cricketers $ 1.6 million a month after the tournament was played in March 2020. . At the same time England, who reached the semi-finals, were given prize money two months after the event, but they have not been given prize money even after 14 months of the Indian women's team playing.
In this case, the Indian board says that it received money from the International Cricket Council in November itself. A BCCI official said that the Indian players have not been paid yet, but they claimed that senior members of the team are aware of the delay in the payment amount and due to some technical problems it has been delayed. Also said that if the players are currently paid, then they will have to pay double tax. The aim of the BCCI is to save players from paying more tax. Currently ICC is deducting TDS, due to which players will get US $ 50,000-60,000.
According to the information, the BCCI has to pay $ 23.7 million for the ICC after the Indian government's refusal to give tax exemption for revenue from the 2016 T20 World Cup held in India. The matter is with the ICC Dispute Resolution Committee since March 2020.
It is now believed that the Indian board may decide to give the prize money. According to the prize distribution criteria in Indian cricket, the money will go to the 15-member team, which was led by Harmanpreet Kaur, while each member playing will get around Rs 20 lakh after tax.
