The court ruled that state associations must submit affidavits committing to compliance with the Lodha recommendations in order to receive money from the BCCI. The Supreme Court also ordered the BCCI to appoint an independent auditor to scrutinize its accounts and fix financial limits for contracts. All high-value contracts would have to be cleared by auditors, the court ruled. BCCI officials have also been ordered to file compliance reports to the Supreme Court within two weeks, indicating how much time the board and state cricket bodies would require to implement the reforms. The Lodha Commission was set up by the Supreme Court to revamp the BCCI following corruption charges during the 2013 IPL.
