Jay Shah, the current BCCI secretary, will become the ICC chairman on December 1. As BCCI officials do not receive regular salaries, Shah is paid through allowances and reimbursements. His compensation at the ICC is expected to be similar, as high-ranking officials receive allowances and benefits instead of a set salary. The specifics of these payments are not openly shared by the ICC. The BCCI no longer enjoys tax exemption and is assessed under “Business Income” by the Income Tax department. Despite this, it remains the richest cricket board in the world.
