IOC executive board imposed the sanctions on Tuesday (Dec. 4, 2012) after the IOA failed to comply with the world body's rules on the holding of elections.
The IOC had repeatedly told the Indian body to adhere to its own constitution and the Olympic Charter and not follow the government's sports code for Wednesday's elections.
Suspension means the Indian body will stop receiving IOC funding and its officials will be banned from attending Olympic meetings and events. India's athletes will be barred from competing in Olympic events under their national flag.
