Amin, who is also a former president of the Gujarat Cricket Association, in his letter to BCCI president N Srinivasan and secretary Sanjay Jagdale, has specifically targeted GCA for securing the Board's grant without getting its audited accounts passed at its AGM.

Amit has claimed that the GCA, now headed by Gujarat CM Narendra Modi, has not held its AGM for more than two years and has not conducted elections, though the present committee has already completed its term.

In his letter, Amin said he has been shocked to know that in the recent past the BCCI "is releasing the grant money to associations without the audited reports being passed in the Executive Committee and the AGM (of the associations)".

"Grants have been released by the BCCI on the basis of Audited Balance Sheet submitted by the association but without queries of the auditors solved or any type of discussion regarding the expenditures done by the association in Executive Committee meeting or the AGM is not passed," Amin claimed.

"Gujarat Cricket Association has not called Executive Committee meetings and AGM for 2 years or more and are only sending Audited Reports without passing the reports in the Executive Committee meeting and AGM and I personally request you to release grants to Gujarat Cricket Association only after the audited reports are passed in the Executive Committee meeting and the AGM," he has pleaded.

The BCCI provides annual subsidy running into several crores as a share of their revenues accrued from TV broadcast rights and IPL earnings. (More)
