World Archery on Monday warned the Indian federation AAI of "immediate suspension" if it goes ahead with two separate elections on June 9.
The suspension would mean that the Indian team competing in the World Championships would only be ale to compete under a World Archery flag and not the national flag.
Extending an olive branch to the de-recognised Archery Association of India (AAI), World Archery (WA) has also appointed its first vice-president Kazi Rajib Uddin Ahmed Chapol as the "mediator" in the process.
Chapol will hold a meeting with the two AAI factions in New Delhi on June 7 in an effort to cancel both the elections and instead hold one election on June 24. The cost of the meeting will also be borne by WA.
"We have reached the cut-off point at which we can no longer continue to support any federation in India unless progress is made," Tom Dielen, World Archery Secretary General, told PTI from 's-Hertogenbosch on the sidelines of WA Congress.
"It is our priority to come to a resolution with a member association in India that provides stability and a positive environment for the athletes to succeed internationally, especially with the Tokyo 2020 Olympics on the near horizon."
"We also do not want the situation to become more confused, which is why we have given clear instructions as to what will and what will not be accepted by the World Archery Executive Board."
