While the proposal for remuneration of the CoA was handed over to the Court in a sealed cover on Tuesday, the bench of Justices S.A. Bobde and L. Nageswara Rao approved it.

The order, accessed by media, said: "The BCCI shall bear all costs and expenses that have been incurred by the Committee of Administrators and the Electoral Officers including costs towards legal representations in the present proceedings or any other proceedings that have been or may be initiated against them with regard to discharge of their functions as a Committee of Administrators and Electoral Officers respectively.

- Accommodation in case of overnight stay at outstation locations to be arranged by BCCI at BCCI contracted hotels.

- Any other expenses to be reimbursed at actuals.

- Sitting fee for ICC/ACC meetings as provided by ICC and/or ACC."

The CoA members will now be paid Rs 10 lac per month for 11 months in 2017, Rs 11 lac per month for 12 months in 2018 and Rs 12 lac per month for 10 months in 2019, as per the order.
