Then, on 30 October 2013, it was announced that Mohammedan S.C. had broken that barrier when they signed Maithani on loan.[3]
Maithani made his debut for Mohammedan in the I-League on 24 October 2013 United S.C. at the Salt Lake Stadium; in which he came on as a substitute for Jerry Zirsanga in the 73rd minute as Mohammedan drew the match 0–0.[4]
