Although the CoA has extended the deadline for the state associations to conduct their elections to Sept 28, it has now come into notice that seven BCCI units are still non-compliant. CoA also revealed that 18 among the 38 full members are fully compliant and have registered their constitutions.

Although the BCCI issued Rules of Procedure for the BCCI Elections well in advance and issued Advisory on State Association Elections beforehand, some of the associations were not ready for it. The Committee of Administrators received requests from bodies and electoral officer to extend the deadline for completion of the process and keeping everything in mind, the committee announced that the deadline for the elections has been extended from September 14 to September 28. 

However, on Friday, the CoA announced the names of the state associations which have amended their constitution in terms with the BCCI constitution as approved by the Supreme Court on August 9 last year and put them in three categories of compliance.

Times of India reported that 18 among the 38 full members are fully compliant, having registered their constitution with their state's regulatory body. They are in category A. Seven members have been declared non-compliant on account of either failure to get their respective constitution approved by the CoA or failure to submit their amended constitution.

In the press conference, Vinod Rai confirmed that "Only those full members of the BCCI who have (a) registered their constitution, as approved by the COA, (b) inducted former international players (male and female) as members in accordance with the directions of CoA, and (c) confirmed their membership structure, as required under the Judgement, will be considered as compliant.

In the C category, there are non-compliant members - Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Haryana and Tamil Nadu. It appears that they are waiting for the Supreme Court to look at the suggestions made by the amicus curiae PS Narasimha with regards to changes in their constitution.
