DD sports showing live sporting events of India and different countries have their different broadcaster + many other channels also showing live sports on DD Free Dish like IPL on SU Movies.

Prasar Bharati only takes money, doesn't give back to anyone
They take the money in installments (on pro rata basis), as long as the channel remains on Free Dish, the money is taken from them in advance.
