The organizers have to deposit this sum by a fortnight after the event on 30th October 2011.

As per the PIL filed for the same,
“F1 racing event is an elitist, exclusive and dangerous sport reserved for the very rich and the elite of society and did not deserve the entertainment tax waiver.The PIL alleged that the entertainment tax waiver was granted because the company is close to the Uttar Pradesh political leadership.”
