Registration of Trust

Smooth and Legally-Compliant Registration of Trust for Your Charitable Goals

If you wish to formalise your charitable or religious organisation, AABK & Associates will gladly extend their professional services for the registration of a trust, wherein, under the Indian Trusts Act, the trust is set up as a recognised entity in law. Be it a private or a public trust, our team sees that all legal formalities relating thereto are duly completed-from drafting the trust deed to presentation of documents before the registrar. We try and make the process simple for you so that your whole energy is channelled towards building up your mission while we take care of its legal structuring.

The Significance of Registration of Trust

The registration of charitable or religious trusts according to the governing laws becomes extremely vital in conferring a formal legal existence on such charitable or religious entities. Unregistered trusts cannot open bank accounts in their names; they cannot own property and cannot enter into contracts in their name. Also, income tax exemptions are granted to registered trusts under Section 12A, while donors can avail of deductions under Section 80G.

In general, trust registration will improve the credibility of your trust and thus ease the receipt of donations, grants, and CSR funding from corporations or government bodies. In addition, it protects the assets of your trust by formalising its mission, management structure, and modes of operation so that the objects are carried out in the way they were intended. 

Step-by-Step Procedure for Trust Registration:

• Consultation & Structuring: We begin by trying to understand your objectives and help decide the type of trust-private or public-that best suits your goals and beneficiaries.
• Drafting the Trust Deed: Our team will draft a complete trust deed containing the trust name, its purpose, trustees, rules, and administrative machinery. 
• Document Preparation: We prepare for and collect the necessary documents, including identification and address proof of the trustees, settlor, and registered office address.
• Execution of the Deed: The trust deed is executed on a non-judicial stamp paper (as per the law of the respective state) and gets signed by the settlor and trustees in the presence of two witnesses.
• Submission to the Registrar: We submit the trust deed and requisite documents before the local registrar to complete the official registration of trust.
• Certificate Issuance & Next Steps: Once registered, the trust registration certificate will be sent, along with advice on post-registration compliances like applying for PAN, 12A, and 80G.
