The Bank of India Officers' Organization (BOIOO-NOBO) has had its registration revoked by the Rajasthan Registrar of Trade Unions due to several irregularities, such as falsified signatures and inconsistent membership records.
The Office of the Registrar of Trade Unions, Rajasthan, has revoked the Bank of India Officers' Organization's (BOIOO-NOBO) registration, which is a major step in the banking trade union sector. Following a thorough review of documents, complaints, and statutory compliance under the Trade Unions Act, 1926, the order, dated March 25, 2026, was issued.
The organisation held Registration No. RTU-01/2022 dated 06.01.2022, which now stands cancelled with immediate effect.
The order states that complaints and supporting documentation submitted to the authority were reviewed before the decision was made. The Registrar noted that the registration was obtained in contravention of the Trade Unions Act's,1926 restrictions.
The authority observed that the registered union did not provide a satisfactory answer throughout the hearings, even though they were given opportunities to state their position. Statements from a few people who claimed their names were added as founding members without their permission are included in the order.
Additionally, they rejected signing any registration-related paperwork. The authority began to doubt the veracity of the documents provided during the registration process as a result of these allegations. The ruling was mostly based on the allegations of falsified signatures and unapproved name inclusion.
Inconsistencies in the membership information provided at the time of registration were discovered during examination. The stated membership strength did not correspond with the official records that were at hand. In order to reflect increased membership numbers, it was also noted that names of those connected to another union were included.
This discrepancy was identified as a significant anomaly in the registration procedure. The organization's declaration of a bank property as its registered office without the necessary authorization or No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the bank was also highlighted by the Registrar.
This was regarded as a violation of the Trade Unions Act of 1926's legal requirements. According to the order, the registered union received notices that gave it a chance to voice its opinions.However, no office bearers appeared before the authority, and no response was submitted to address the observations raised.
Based on the findings, the Additional Labour Commissioner & Registrar of Trade Unions, Rajasthan, exercised statutory powers under the Trade Unions Act, 1926, and ordered cancellation of the registration granted on 06.01.2022.
The cancellation has been made effective immediately.
The order appears to have been circulated to all concerned parties, including the bank’s head office. As of now, no further developments from the bank’s end have been reported.
The cancellation of BOIOO-NOBO’s registration follows documented findings related to discrepancies in membership records, alleged forged declarations, and procedural non-compliance. The order, issued on 25 March 2026, brings the registration granted under RTU-01/2022 to an immediate end.
