Tata Trusts gets until October 19 to answer governance complaints
In short
The Maharashtra Charity Commissioner gave the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust time until October 19 to reply to complaints from trustees Venu Srinivasan and Vijay Singh. They say the trust interfered in Tata Sons’ business decisions and tried to limit Srinivasan’s role in a planned listing.
