Sir Ratan Tata Trust Seeks Relief Amid Meeting Restrictions Ahead of Tata Sons AGM
The Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) has sought relief from the Maharashtra Charity Commissioner to lift restrictions preventing trustee meetings, warning that about ₹400 crore in grants and key decisions related to Tata Sons' upcoming AGM on August 18 could be delayed. The restrictions affect SRTT's ability to participate in shareholder votes, including the approval of dividends and the reappointment of Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran. Meanwhile, Vijay Singh, vice-chairman of Tata Trusts, has stepped down as an SRTT trustee amid ongoing regulatory and internal challenges but will continue with the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust.
