ew branches to be created should follow the state-wise pattern (pre-existing branches would not be disturbed). Zonal branches, if formed, must have membership from contiguous states and union territories and not from one state/city only. It is desired that correct nomenclature of the branches be followed to avoid confusion and overlap.
