Employees trade union affiliation to Political outfit?

Dear friends, Please clarify.
Whether the Registered Employees Trade Union without any political affiliation can seek affiliation with INTUC or AITUC etc.
Whether trade Union bye laws should have similar clauses? If such clauses not available in the present bye laws, can union amend the bye laws
The reference of Rule /Act clauses.
thanks

Affiliation of a registered Trade Union to any Federation of Trade Unions or any political outfit is not a subject-matter of the Trade Unions Act,1926. It is only a matter of choice exercised by the individual Trade Union based on the view of its majority of members.

Dear friends,
There is no compulsion for the Registered Employees Trade Union to seek affiliation from political parties or can seek affiliation with any national level union. Without provision in bye-law trade Union can not affiliate, if does so may liable for cancellation of registration on complaint.
In general all trade unions are the facet of one of the major Political party that may be INTUC or AITUC or BMS or HMS and others
