This is the exact question which i am looking for. The number of Office Bearers in the registered trade union have to be in accordance with Trade Union Act.
As i understand the no. has to be in accordance with Bye laws, which can be amended anytime easily. But is it mandatory for the amended bye laws to be certified by the Registrar of the trade union for being valid ? Further can the management raise an ID if the no. is relatively very high. For eg. for employee strength of 1000, no. of unions 7 and the recog. union has nearly 100 office bearers for no. of votes in favour through secret ballot election is 500. (in nutshell 1 office bearer for every 10 employees)

Every amendment to the certified bye laws has to be again approved/cetified by the Registrar of Trade Unions. The management cannot raise any industrial dispute if the number of office bearers is relatively hig simply because the issue of number of office bearers of a trade union cannot be the subject matter of an industrial dispute and is not an industrial dispute as defined under the Industrial Disputes Act.
