The championship is set to adhere strictly to the competition guidelines established by the World Boxing and Boxing Federation of India (BFI). It welcomes participation from boxers born within the January 1, 1984, to December 31, 2005, timeframe.

With the deadline for entry numbers set for March 10 and final name submissions due by March 15, each state unit has the opportunity to present up to 10 boxers for the competition. The event officially kicks off on March 20, leading into a week filled with competitive excitement.

BFI Secretary General Hemanta Kumar Kalita highlighted the championship's critical role in the boxing community, stating, "The Elite Women's National Championship have been a breeding ground for future champions, giving young talents a chance to test themselves against the best. As the first nationals in the new Olympic preparation cycle, this edition will be crucial in identifying and grooming boxers for the next three years."

The championship's structure involves a three-round format for each match, with bouts consisting of three-minute rounds and one-minute rest periods. The ten-point must-scoring system will apply, ensuring adherence to World Boxing Technical & Competition Rules.
