For starters they decided to increase the number of teams from 17 to 19. Second they decided to divide those teams into two groups, Group A with 10 teams and Group B with 9 teams. Also the federation decided to split the big four clubs of Kolkata (East Bengal, Mohun Bagan, Prayag United, and Mohammedan) into the two groups. The IFA also decided that each team plays each other twice before five teams from Group A and four teams from Group B move on to the Final Round while the remaining 10 teams fight in a relegation league and the bottom team relegated.
