India's participation in Olympics will be decided only by the general body of the BCCI, which in all likelihood won't change its present stance of not taking part as they don't want to follow the Olympic charter.
A decision in this regard was taken during a meeting between BCCI's office bearers and the Committee of Administrators [CoA], where they also decided to award Rs 15 lakh each to members of men's and women's selection committee. It is a given that BCCI's general body would give a thumbs down to India's participation in Olympics as it would mean that they would be counted as national sports federation with players needing to sign WADA's whereabouts clause [the Indian players are completely against it].
