The Hockey India League (HIL) has returned after seven years, but it faces a new controversy now. Eventually the league is in debate now as some players are still waiting for their salaries as the dues are unpaid. According to a report by My Khel, players are complaining because even a month after the tournament ended, they have not received their full payments. A player from the first Women’s HIL held in January has only received 20% of her payment. Now, the President of Hockey India, Dilip Tirkey has confirmed this issue. A meeting was held in Bhubaneswar to review the situation with everyone involved.

A team official noted that the 2024-25 edition of HIL resulted in significant losses, and existing problems were not resolved.
