A total payment of Rs 14,82,74,177 is still pending.

Despite getting 30 reminders from the Mumbai Police, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) still hasn't paid arrears of Rs 14.82 crore, the reply to an RTI query has revealed.

As per the information received by RTI activist Anil Galgali, the arrears are related to the settlement fee for the security provided from 2013 and 2019 for matches in the city.

However, the Maharashtra government are yet to issue any order related to the fee for the matches held between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2020.

RTI's response further claimed that the Mumbai police was paid Rs 1.40 crore for IPL 2018, which was the first time in the last seven years.

Furthermore, a total payment of Rs 14,82,74,177 is still pending due to the security provided by the city cops during some ODIs and Test matches, apart from other big tournaments like Women's World Cup in 2013, T20 World Cup in 2016, and IPL in 2017.
