About This Service
Trust registration is the “Birth Certificate” of your NGO. It creates a legal entity where “Settlors” hand over property or funds to “Trustees” to be used for the benefit of “Beneficiaries” (the public). In 2026, it is the most stable and preferred structure for long-term charitable missions like schools, hospitals, or religious institutions.
Eligibility & Criteria
- Forms: No specific “Form” for formation; it is a Physical Deed Registration at the local Sub-Registrar’s office.
- Penalties: Failure to register prevents you from opening a bank account or applying for any tax exemptions. Operating an unregistered trust can lead to personal liability for the trustees.
