It absolutely depends on the trade-ins, that’ll decide or shrink the purse for franchises. The BCCI wants mid-December for the auctions.

As stated by Sourav Ganguly earlier, the IPL will be in the home and away format. BCCI President Sourav Ganguly said this in his one of these letter to the state associations.
“The next season of men’s IPL will also go back to the home and away format with all 10 teams playing their home matches at their designated venues,” Ganguly said in his letter.
