Trust Registration

Trust is a special form of organization which emerges out of a will. The will maker exclusively transfers the ownership of a property to be used for a particular purpose. If the purpose is to benefit particular individuals, it becomes a Private Trust and if it concerns some purpose of the common public or the community at large, it is called a Public Trust.

Trusts can be formed

  • By way of formal registration before the Charity Commissioner / Inspector General of Registration under the respective State Public Trusts Act.
  • By invoking interference of civil courts to lay down schemes for governing a Trust under Sections 92 and 93 of the Civil Procedure Code
  • By registering the Trust deed of a Public Charitable Trust under the Registration Act, 1908
