Trust Registration in Bangalore
A Trust is one of the most reliable legal structures for individuals or groups who wish to engage in charitable, religious, or social welfare activities in India.

Key Information on Trust Registration
1. How many people are required to start a Trust?
To register a public charitable trust, a minimum of two trustees is required. Trustees are responsible for managing the activities, assets, and objectives of the Trust in accordance with the Trust Deed.
2. Is annual filing required for a Trust?
No. Unlike societies, Trusts are not required to file annual returns with any authority. However, they must maintain proper books of accounts and records of their charitable activities to ensure transparency and compliance with the Income Tax Department.
3. Can a Trust get an Income Tax exemption?
Yes. Charitable Trusts are eligible for income tax exemptions under sections 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act, provided they meet the prescribed conditions and register with the Income Tax Department. These exemptions help donors claim tax benefits while supporting social causes.
