In September 2020, the OSHO International Foundation, which owns the OSHO International Meditation Resort, decided to sell two 1.5 acre plots of land, currently housing a swimming pool and a tennis court. As a charitable trust, the OIF filed an application with the Charity Commissioner in Mumbai requesting permission for the sale. In the application, they cited financial distress due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. This has sparked controversy amongst Osho followers, and their representative Yogesh Thakkar was quoted saying “This place is made by Osho devotees for Osho devotees, and it belongs to Osho devotees.” Ten Osho disciples filed an objection to the sale with the Charity Commissioner.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-03-06|title=Citing funds crunch, Osho foundation puts up Pune plots for sale; disciples cry foul|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/citing-funds-crunch-osho-foundation-puts-up-pune-plots-for-sale-disciples-cry-foul-7216258/|access-date=2021-03-31|website=The Indian Express|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine|author=Pankaj Khelkar |date=March 17, 2021 |title=Controversy over Osho land in Pune {{!}} All you need to know|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/controversy-osho-land-pune-all-you-need-to-know-1780193-2021-03-17|access-date=2021-03-31|magazine=India Today|language=en}}</ref>
