How to Register a Charitable Trust
As part of our 'NGO Support Services' we assist to register the Charitable Trust under Indian Registration Act, India.
Like other forms of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), the Charitable Trust under the Indian Registration Act is also an independent legal entity. In general, trustees and settlors are not personally liable for the Charitable Trust's acts. However, they are liable in their respective official capacities. The Charitable Trust is primarily a transfer of property deeds for charitable purposes in favor of the mentioned beneficiaries. There are many famous Charitable Trusts in India, such as the Press Trust of India (PTI).
Requirements for the Charitable Trust:
- At least one person Settlor (One who is forming the trust)
- At least one person as Trustee ( Settlor and Trustee may be same person)
- At least one person as witness
- Some property to form trust (Generally ₹10,000.00)
