    D 15 members Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No minimum requirement Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 4 of the Trade Union Act, 1926, mandates that any seven or more members of a trade union may apply for registration by subscribing their names to the rules of the trade union. However, an additional condition applies: no trade union of workmen shall be registered unless at least 10% or 100 of the workmen (whichever is less) engaged in the establishment are members on the date of application. This requirement ensures genuine worker representation while facilitating union formation.
