The BCCI resists RTI inclusion, citing commercial and political concerns, despite its public benefits, monopoly power, and state support. Civil society demands transparency. Though deemed performing public duties, the CIC recently excluded it under Section 2(h), a decision the author finds contradictory. The article advocates amending Section 2(h) to include public duty-discharging, monopolistic bodies, safeguarding commercial interests. It also urges treating tax exemptions as state grants, pushing for greater accountability from the powerful cricket board.
