How To Best Avoid Transfer Scruples In India?
The system of standardised web-based transfer system to be introduced by FIFA, which would be made compulsory world over by October 2010 for international transfers, could lessen the transfer scruples in India by a large extent if introduced at a local level by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) for transfers of players between I-League clubs...

Called the FIFA Transfer Matching System (TMS), it was
conceptualized back in 2005 by FIFA in order to keep the transfer market clean.
Recently, at a workshop organised by FIFA TMS team at the Asian Football
Confederation (AFC) House, India participated.
What TMS essentially means is that the member associations enter the transfer details on the website. The two clubs would have to enter the transfer specifics, including the banking and payment details and only, if they match shall the transfer go ahead. The transfer details would be accessed only by FIFA, the confederations, and the national FA, along with the two clubs involved.
The traditional methods of providing International Transfer Certificates (ITC) would be replaced with an electronically generated one.
If a TMS system is introduced by the Indian FA, in a way to suit its requirements, it shall surely reduce the number of transfer glitches in the country which seems to rise with each year. It shall be a web-based system wherein the two clubs involved in a player’s transfer, the state associations, and the AIFF being the accessing parties to the transfer details. This shall only be for transfers involving Indian players.
At a time when there are cases like Snehashish, who claims not to be an East Bengal player, while the club refuses to believe so, when contracted players like Steven Dias and N.P.Pradeep were signed from Mahindra United last year, such needless issues could be done away with.
If club A wishes to sign a player, who is contracted to club B, the transfer shall never go ahead until the two clubs reach an agreement and thus, ensures smooth functioning.
The AIFF stated that they shall check the viability of the new system introduced by the world governing body, following which they shall mull over the possibility of having a similar concept in India.
“This is a totally new system being tried by FIFA. After seeing how it works at International level we have to think of introducing it in India. This system is only for professional players,” said AIFF general secretary, Alberto Colaco.
East Bengal, who have been drawn into transfer controversies off-late, have given thumbs-up for this system to be launched in India.
“We have been asking the AIFF to have a computerized system for transfers for long. At East Bengal, we are all for this new system to be introduced in India as it shall reduce the transfer problems in the country,” said East Bengal general secretary, Kalyan Majumdar.
