Tata Trusts’ May 16 board meeting has been deferred after Maharashtra’s Charity Commissioner Amogh S. Kaloti ordered the trusts to wait for an inspector’s report amid governance complaints. The case centers on the composition of Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) and how new limits under Section 30A(2) of the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act apply to lifetime trustees.
