The All India Tennis Association has approved a new set of governance reforms, with one of the biggest changes being a cut in overseas travel allowance for officials. The daily entitlement has been reduced to USD 450 from the earlier USD 700, marking a significant drop in travel spending.
According to the announcement made in New Delhi on Saturday, the AITA also moved to limit the length of foreign tours by officials. Overseas trips will now be capped at four days, adding another layer of control over official travel and related costs.
The measures appear to be part of a broader effort by the Indian tennis body to tighten administrative processes and bring more discipline to governance. By reducing allowances and restricting travel duration, the association is signaling a stronger focus on accountability in its functioning.
The decision is likely to draw attention within Indian tennis because travel and administrative expenses often come under scrutiny in sports bodies. With these reforms, AITA has put in place clearer limits on what officials can claim during international travel.
