Maharashtra Ordinance Caps Perpetual Trustees to 25% of Board

Imagine a club that helps people, called a public trust.

This club needs people, called trustees, to run it.

Before, some trustees could stay forever, like a permanent president.

Now, a new rule in Maharashtra says that only one out of every four trustees can be a permanent one.

The other three must be on shorter terms, like a regular member.

This new rule is like a temporary law called an ordinance and it started on September 1, 2025.

It helps make sure that running the trust is fair and clear, and that new ideas can come in.

If the state's lawmakers like the rule, it will become a permanent change to the law.
