Category: Miscellaneous Indian Gk

Hint: Consider the nature of the organization and its membership criteria.

Correct Answer: B) BCCI

Exam Relevance: UPSC, SSC, Bank PO, State PSC

Difficulty: Moderate

Explanations:

The question revolves around identifying an organization that is a "Private Club Consortium" registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, with specific membership criteria involving introduction by an existing member and payment of an annual fee. The correct answer is the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India).

The BCCI is the governing body for cricket in India and is registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act. This act is a legal framework that allows for the registration of societies and clubs in the state of Tamil Nadu. The BCCI, as a private club consortium, operates under this act and has a membership structure that requires new members to be introduced by existing members and to pay an annual fee.

Understanding the structure and membership criteria of the BCCI is crucial for identifying it as the correct answer. The BCCI is a well-known organization in the context of Indian cricket, and its registration under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act is a specific detail that distinguishes it from other organizations.

Other options like the TNCA (Tamil Nadu Cricket Association), Gymkhana Club, and ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) do not fit the criteria specified in the question. The TNCA is a different cricket organization with its own structure and registration, while a Gymkhana Club is a general term for a sports club and not specifically the BCCI. ISKCON is a religious organization and does not fit the description of a private club consortium registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act.

Therefore, the BCCI is the correct answer as it meets all the specified criteria and is a well-known example of a private club consortium registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act.

Option Analysis:
  • Option A: TNCA (Tamil Nadu Cricket Association) is not a private club consortium registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act. It is a different organization with different membership criteria.
  • Option B: BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) is the correct answer. It is a private club consortium registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, and membership requires introduction by an existing member and payment of an annual fee.
  • Option C: Gymkhana Club is a general term for a sports club and does not specifically refer to the BCCI or its registration under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act.
  • Option D: ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) is a religious organization and not a private club consortium registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act.

Mnemonic: BCCI: Board for Cricket Control in India
