India’s tax rules do not allow such relief

To host ICC tournaments, the host country needs to obtain tax exemption from the government. However, the tax laws of India do not allow such relief. At the same time, after the sale of IPL media rights for Rs 48390 crore, the Indian board has high hopes for the domestic season of 2023-2027.

Benefits of IPL

With Viacom entering the fray, the contest will now be between Star and Sony. The BCCI has made a lot of profit by selling the broadcast and live streaming rights of IPL separately.

• At the same time, the current media rights with Disney + Hotstar ended with the ODI series against Australia.
• Disney+Star was the rights holder for five years in 2018 after paying 6138.10 crores.
