Tata Trusts has formally responded to the Charity Commissioner's recent directive, which ordered the deferral of a board meeting and mandated an inquiry into the Sir Ratan Tata Trust. The Trusts assert that the order was issued ex-parte, meaning it was done without notifying them or providing an opportunity for a hearing. They contend that the amendments made to the Maharashtra Public Trusts (Second) Amendment Act of 2025 are prospective and should not impact the appointments of perpetual trustees made before the law's effective date of September 1, 2025. This argument is supported by legal opinions obtained by the Trusts. The complaint at the center of the inquiry, filed by Katyayani Agrawal, questions the composition of the Board of Trustees, claiming that three out of six trustees are permanent and thus violate the stipulations of the new Act, which limits the number of perpetual trustees to one-fourth of the total. Tata Trusts expressed that they were unaware of any complaints until the Charity Commissioner issued the directive, and they are currently reviewing the received directions.
