The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has won a significant victory in the tax battle with the Income Tax department as the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has ruled that the board is entitled for tax exemption for the income generated from the Indian Premier League (IPL). The ITAT further stated that the main objective of BCCI remains to promote cricket and the IPL is just a means to achieve this. This ruling is a major relief for the board as it can now focus on promoting the game without any hindrances.
