PKL 12 Auction: Salary Cap, Purse Value & How It Works

The Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 player auction kicked off on May 31 in Mumbai, with top domestic and international talent going under the hammer.

What is the total salary cap for each team?
Each team has a total purse of ₹5 crore to build their squad for the upcoming season.

How is the remaining purse calculated?
The remaining purse is determined by deducting the salaries of retained players from the initial ₹5 crore budget.

Teams that retain fewer players go into the auction with more money to spend.

Conversely, teams with more retentions start with a smaller purse.
