Section Text
(1) Every
application for registration of a Trade Union shall be made to the Registrar electronically or otherwise
and be accompanied by---
(a) a declaration to be made by an affidavit in such form and manner as may be prescribed;
(b) copy of the rules of the Trade Union together with a copy of the resolution by the members
of the Trade Union adopting such rules;
(c) a copy of the resolution adopted by the members of the Trade Union authorising the
applicants to make an application for registration; and
(d) in the case of a Trade Union, being a federation or a central organisation of Trade Unions,
a copy of the resolution adopted by the members of each of the member Trade Unions, meeting
separately, agreeing to constitute a federation or a central organisation of Trade Unions.
Explanation.--- For the purposes of this clause, resolution adopted by the members of the Trade
Union means, in the case of a Trade Union, being a federation or a central organisation of Trade
Unions, the resolution adopted by the members of each of the member Trade Unions, meeting
separately.
(2) Where a Trade Union has been in existence for more than one year before the making of an
application for its registration, there shall be delivered to the Registrar, together with the application, a
general statement of the assets and liabilities of the Trade Union prepared in such form and containing
such particulars, as may be prescribed.
(3) The Registrar may call for further information for the purpose of satisfying himself that the
application complies with the provisions of this Code and the Trade Union is entitled for registration
under this Code, and may refuse to register the Trade Union until such information is furnished.
(4) If the name under which the Trade Union is proposed to be registered is identical with that of an
existing registered Trade Union or in the opinion of the Registrar so nearly resembles the name of an
existing Trade Union that such name is likely to deceive the public or the members of either Trade
Union, the Registrar shall require the persons applying for altering the name of the Trade Union and
shall refuse to register the Trade Union until such alteration has been made.
