CoA Proposes To Remove Finance Committee

The Story

The draft constitution of BCCI submitted by the Committee of Administrators (COA to the Supreme Court on September 11 promises to incorporate the Lodha panel recommendations.

It is also expected that several top BCCI functionaries who continue work as ‘acting’ officials will have to vacate.

Supreme Court will pass the memorandum on September 19.

No Finance Committee

The finance committee headed by Jyotiraditya Scindia will also cease to exist when the new constitution is brought into effect.

The COA wrote a letter to the committee’s convener, BCCI treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry, explaining the role of the sub-committee.

The letter has 11 distinct points, and the most significant is point No.10 which states –

“Please note that the Finance Committee (as also various other committees) do not find mention in the list of committees included in the draft BCCI constitution that is in line with the recommendations of Hon’ble Justice Lodha Committee (as accepted by the Supreme Court).

“Accordingly, the above position will continue only until the new BCCI constitution, as per reforms mandated by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, is adopted.”

In the points 8 and 9, the COA reminds committee members that there had been times when they have just ratified decisions of other courts rather than taking any decisions themselves.

“Even decisions taken at the level of Hon Treasurer have been placed before the finance committee for them to merely take note. Therefore, there is no occasion for any ‘confusion with regard’ to mandate of the finance committee,” it stated.

The COA also explained Scindia and Chaudhry that the last finance committee meeting was held five months before the panel was brought into existence.

“Surely, it can’t be that no decisions having financial implication were taken during this period.”

The COA, then in a sternly-worded Point 9, stated:

“Therefore the Committee Of Administrators is not obliged to elicit the views of the Finance Committee on every decision, which may have financial implications on the BCCI, but may choose to refer specific issues/matters to elicit the views of the finance committee where the Committee Of Administrators considers necessary.”
