Vijay Singh may leave the Sir Ratan Tata Trust when his term ends August 14 amid a Charity Commissioner-ordered board-meeting freeze. The dispute could affect Tata Sons governance, as Tata Trusts hold 51.54% and the AGM is due August 18.

Why this matters

The uncertainty follows Tata Trusts’ planned Rs 2,000 crore philanthropy increase, legal scrutiny of a 1989 Tata Sons share transfer, and a Charity Commissioner move narrowing the board-meeting freeze to SRTT.
