Elections were initially scheduled for March 28, but the process had been stalled due to legal wrangling, including multiple appeals and counter-appeals. The Returning Officer also resigned from his post.

World Boxing, which had constituted the Interim Committee to manage the day-to-day affairs of Indian boxing, had set a deadline of August 31 to hold the elections.

The entire process will begin again, starting from the drafting of the Electoral College. The member states have been asked to send names of two representatives by Monday 5 p.m.
