Sports Ministry makes exception for IOA, allows 16-member EC on IOC's recommendation

The Sports Ministry has allowed the Indian Olympic Association an exception for its council. This decision permits the council to retain sixteen members, deviating from the new Act. The International Olympic Committee recommended keeping the council size unchanged for compliance. This exemption allows the IOA to align with international federation statutes. The Indian Olympic Association is scheduled to hold its elections later this year.
