New Delhi, December 11: The Football Association of India (FAI) on Wednesday approached the government seeking clarifications on key Goods and Services Tax (GST) provisions, citing financial strain on the organisation. Officials said the FAI aims to ensure compliance while reducing the fiscal burden on clubs, tournaments, and grassroots programmes across the country.
Sources noted that unresolved GST issues have affected revenue flows, sponsorship deals, and operational budgets for football initiatives. The FAI requested detailed guidance to streamline tax processes and maintain transparency, ensuring that financial resources can be efficiently directed toward promoting the sport. Analysts said such interventions are critical for sustaining the growth of football in India and supporting its development at both professional and grassroots levels.
