As far as I understand, charitable, scientific society comes under
state list and not under concurrent list. As such, we need to register
each chapter as per the laws of the state where it is constituted.
That doesn't harm anyone.  

The other option would be to register TUGIndia as a non-profit company
as section 25 of the companies act which will have national
jurisdiction.  It is a non-trivial task, do we need to undertake this
is the question.  After all, it is not the form or structure, but what
we really do for the community that counts much.  However, everything
do as an organization should be legal and should be within the scope
and limits provided by the law of the land.

Sounds fine for me.
