The sports ministry has decided against making any change to the daily allowance of the Asian Games-bound athletes, keeping it at $50, which it plans to pay in one go after getting the finance ministry’s clearance. ‘We have sent the proposal to the Finance Ministry and the amount will remain at $50 per athlete, like it was for the Commonwealth Games.
If the clearance from the finance ministry comes in a day or two, the full amount will be paid in Incheon itself,’ a sports ministry official said on Tuesday. The daily allowance was increased from $25 to $50 at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games but most athletes were paid $25 only towards the end of the mega event.
