Getting a licence
A licence is needed to play official padel competitions in India.
Players register online with ID (passport or Aadhar card) and a photo; registration costs INR 1,500 for 1 year or INR 3,000 for 2 years, paid to the IPF's bank account. The registration/licence is mandatory to represent India in any competition and entitles the holder to play District/State/National/International padel events; acceptance is not guaranteed until documents and payment are verified.
