BCCI doubles salary of curators, match officials

MUMBAI: The BCCI, it kind of feels, was once bracing up its body of workers for the petrol price hike. Jokes aside, TOI has learnt that the Board, in a long-due transfer which shall be favored via many in the cricketing fraternity, has doubled the fit charge of its ‘at the back of the scenes men’ — curators and fit officials (umpires & fit referees), scorers and video analysts.

The resolution, following a recommendation via former India stumper Saba Karim, who’s now the GM, cricket operations, was once taken via the Committee of Administrators (CoA) at its assembly on April 12. As in line with the minutes of the April 12 assembly, put at the BCCI site, “The CoA was once informed that there are five zonal curators and assistant curators each and every, who’re currently paid a charge of Rs 6 lakh in line with annum and Rs four.2 lakh in line with annum. This charge had been fastened in 2012, and hasn’t been higher since then. He recommended that the cost be doubled to Rs 12 lakh in line with annum for the five zonal curators and Rs 8.four lakhs in line with annum for the five assistant curators.”

While the CoA “noticed that the selection of curators was once too few and advised that the BCCI consider attractive more assistant curators,” it “authorized the proposed building up in charge for zonal and assistant curators.”

Similarly, the fit charge of the 105 umpires hired via the BCCI since 2012, which hadn’t higher all this whilst, has been doubled.

While the highest 20 umpires of the rustic (who officiate in video games as opposed to T20 suits) has been doubled from Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000 in line with day. The fees of the remainder 85 umpires has been doubled too, from Rs 15,000 to Rs 30,000. The best 20 umpires will now obtain double the amount they received earlier (from Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000) for officiating in T20 video games, whilst the remainder umpires will get twice their earlier salary too (Rs 15,000, as in comparison to Rs 7,500 earlier).

The day-to-day allowance of the umpires too has been doubled from Rs 750 in line with day to Rs 1500 (in case of outstation umpires), and from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000. At a time once they’ve are available for huge grievance for a largely thankless job, this large, long-due increment is a well timed pat at the back of those umpires.

The charge of BCCI’s 58 fit referees, who’re all former First-Class players, which too hadn’t higher since 2012, has been doubled from Rs 15,000 to Rs 30,000 in line with day. In case of T20 video games, this has been doubled from Rs 7,500 to Rs 15,000 in line with fit. Their day-to-day allowance too has been doubled from Rs 750 to Rs 1500 in line with day in case of outstation fit referees, and Rs 500 to Rs 1000 in case of local.

The 153 BCCI scorers will now obtain Rs 10,000, instead of Rs 5,000 as earlier. In case of T20 video games, they’ll obtain Rs 5,000, which is double of what they were getting earlier. Their day-to-day allowance (Rs 1,500 for outstation, and Rs 1,000 for local now) too has been doubled.


The charge of the 185 video analysts of the BCCI, too has been higher. The senior video analysts will obtain Rs 15,000 in line with day — double of what they were given earlier — whilst the assistant video analysts will now get Rs 10,000 in line with day, upwards of the Rs 3,000 in line with day that they earnt earlier. The fees of senior video analysts for T20 video games has been doubled too, from Rs 3,750 to Rs 7,500 in line with fit, whilst assistant video analysts, who were getting Rs 1,500, will now get Rs 5,000. Their day-to-day allowance too has been higher from Rs 750 to Rs 1500 (outstation) and from Rs 500 to Rs 1000 in case of local video analysts.


The CoA additionally regarded as an building up in the remuneration of the national selectors. The committee felt that it wasn’t “suitable” to increase the pay of the ones (selectors) “who’re sitting at house and not rendering any products and services as a result of the directions issued via the Hon’ble Justice Lodha Committee in January 2017.” This signifies that former India players Gagan Khoda and Jatin Paranjpe, who were ineligible to proceed as selectors since early last 12 months, won’t obtain any increment, which the CoA would make a decision after going thru a suggestion for the same. That increment could be efficient from October 1 this 12 months.


The CoA, meanwhile, has decided towards appointing an individual in the place of GM (Marketing, communications & Digital), presumably, after BCCI secretary Amitabh Choudhary’s letter wondering the appointment and its process.
