The board meeting of Tata Trusts has been postponed from May 8 to May 16 as the Maharashtra Charity Commissioner investigates the governance of the Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT). The inquiry focuses on compliance with Section 30A(2) of the Maharashtra Public Trust (Second Amendment) Act, 2025, which mandates that the number of perpetual trustees must not exceed 25% of the total board strength. Currently, three of the six trustees—Noel Tata, Jimmy Tata, and Jehangir Jehangir—are perpetual trustees, raising legal concerns. This inquiry comes amid broader governance issues within the Tata Trusts network, including challenges to trustee appointments and board procedures. Recently, a writ petition challenging the trust's life trustee structure was withdrawn from the Bombay High Court, with the petitioner criticized for lack of fairness. Additionally, governance disputes have intensified, particularly after Mehli Mistry opposed the reappointment of two trustees at the Tata Education and Development Trust, where unanimous approval is required for decisions. The scrutiny over trustee eligibility and compliance with governing rules continues to unfold, particularly regarding Srinivasan's role following his resignation from other trusts.
