==Quarter-finals==
{{main article|2012 Durand Cup quarter-finals}}

The quarter-finals of the Durand Cup shall be played between 12 teams. Five of the teams currently play in [[2012–13 I-League]], two played in the [[2012 I-League 2nd Division]] and one currently play in the [[Mumbai Football League]]. The other four spots would have been taken up by the top three teams from the preliminary round plus one service team. However, on 22 August 2012 it was announced that [[Hindustan Aeronautics Limited SC|HAL SC]] would withdraw from the tournament (along with [[Churchill Brothers FC|Churchill Brothers SC]] who withdrew before the initial list of teams was released) and thus freeing an extra space. So in order to fill it up the Durand Football Committee decided to qualify the four teams remaining in the preliminary rounds.<ref name=DurandSponsor>{{cite web|last=Basu|first=Indranil|title=Durand gets sponsor but Churchill pull out|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/top-stories/Durand-gets-sponsor-but-Churchill-pull-out/articleshow/15591758.cms|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130126195008/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-08-22/top-stories/33321844_1_durand-football-tournament-society-durand-cup-new-sponsors|url-status=live|archive-date=26 January 2013|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=22 August 2012 |access-date=22 August 2012}}</ref> Therefore, [[Delhi United FC]], [[Punjab Police FC|FC Punjab Police]], [[Assam Rifles football team|Assam Rifles FC]], and CRPF FC will qualify directly for the quarter-finals.<ref name=DurandSponsor/>
