Registration of Trade Unions: Question asked in Lok Sabha

The Trade Unions Act, 1926 is enforced by the State Governments/UT Authorities and registration of Trade Unions is done by the Registrar appointed by the respective State Governments/UTs. However, few complaints regarding delay in registration and demand for compulsory registration of Trade Unions within a period of 45 days have been brought to the notice of the Government by some central Trade Union Organisations. The matter has been examined and Government has issued an advisory dated 31st January, 2013 to all the State Governments/UT Authorities to stipulate definite timelines for disposal of applications for registration of Trade Unions in the respective State Regulations, either by incorporating appropriate amendments in the State Regulation or by issuing an Executive order to the State Registrars. The State Governments/UTs have been asked to comply with the directions.
