Legal Question in Employment Law in India

I am in Kerala and a state Govt. employee. I am planning to establish a new charitable organisation. The organisation will be having an elected body or council under permanent administratorship of me. My assumption is that since I will not be an elected member of the organisation, it does not violate service rules regarding the conduct of Govt. employees. Isn't it so?

My assumption is based on this: "A member of the Service may, without the previous sanction of the Government, take part in the registration, promotion or management (not involving the holding of an elective office) of a literary, scientific or charitable society, or of a club, or similar organisation, the aims or objectives of which relate to promotion of sports, cultural, or recreation activities, registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 (21 of 1860), or any other law for the time being in force."

(The All India Services (Conduct) Rules 1968)

Am I missing anything?
