Maharashtra blocks Tata Trusts board meeting over suspected trustee violations and legal cap on perpetual trustees

A charity commissioner ordered an indefinite pause

Maharashtra’s Charity Commissioner Amogh S. Kaloti has ordered Tata Trusts to defer a scheduled board meeting as an inquiry begins into alleged violations of the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act. The probe targets the composition of the Sir Ratan Tata Trust board under Section 30A(2), which caps perpetual trustees, after complaints were filed. Under Section 36A, future meetings are barred until an inspector’s report is submitted, following court observations and an inspector inquiry still awaiting results.
