The Karate India Organisation (KIO) replaced Karate Association of India (KAI) as the national governing body for karate in India on confirmation from World Karate Federation (WKF) on 15 November 2021.[1]

KIO is incorporated as a non-profitable company under section 8 of Companies Act, 2013 and established for the overall development of karate sport in India affiliated with World Karate Federation (WKF), Asian Karate Federation (AKF), and Commonwealth Karate Federation (CKF) from November 2021 to present.[2][3][4][5][6]

Since 2019 there have been many disputes from the office bearers of the previous governing body (KAI), WKF de-recognition of Karate Association of India in accordance with the WKF Statutes and on 22 June 2020. Due to which the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India (MYAS) has de-recognized karate, and its governing federations are no more considered as National Sports Federation (NSF) under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India (MYAS) which is one of the major backlashes faced by karate in India since 2020.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

On 15 November 2021, in Dubai at the 25th Senior World Karate Championship, the WKF Congress decided to permanently disaffiliate the Karate Association of India (KAI) from the WKF and give permanent affiliate recognition membership to KIO. WKF also notified to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports about the decision taken by the WKF Congress in Dubai, UAE, for the permanent affiliate KIO as the WKF member in India. Thus ratifying the earlier decision of the WKF Executive Committee (WKF EC), in accordance with the Olympic Charter Rule 28 to bring relief to the affected karate athletes of the whole country (India).[14][15]

KAI was National Sports Federation for Karate Sports in India recognized by Government of India, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports until 2020 and was affiliated with WKF, AKF, SAKF and CKF from September 2013 to September 2020.[16][17][18]

KIO now is only association or federation to select the athletes to represent country at Asian Games, World Karate Championships, Asian Karate Championships, Commonwealth Karate Championships, South Asian Karate Championship, World Youth Cup, Karate 1 Premier League, USA Open Karate Championship and other Good Will International Tournaments.[19][20]
