Charitable, religious, educational or family trust — we draft your trust deed, register it, and set you up for 12A & 80G tax benefits.
A trust is a legal arrangement where a settlor transfers assets to trustees who hold and manage them for beneficiaries or a charitable purpose. Private trusts are governed by the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, while public charitable trusts fall under the relevant state public-trust laws. A trust is created through a trust deed and registered at the local sub-registrar.
NGOs and charitable organisations, religious or educational bodies, and families setting up estate or succession arrangements.
The trust can hold property and operate in its own name with perpetual existence.
A registered trust can apply for income-tax exemption (12A) and donor deductions (80G).
Registration builds trust with donors, CSR funders and government grant bodies.
A clear deed defines objectives, trustees and how the trust is run.
A trust generally needs at least two trustees; there is no upper limit. The settlor can also be a trustee.
A private trust benefits specific individuals (e.g. family); a public charitable trust benefits the public at large and can claim 12A/80G.
A public charitable trust dealing in immovable property should be registered; registration is also practically required to open bank accounts and claim tax benefits.
You register the trust first, then apply for 12A and 80G separately — we handle both.
