Trust Registration
What is Trust?
The primary objective of a Trust is not to generate a profit. Its goals include promoting the arts, commerce, science, research, education, sports, charity, social welfare, religion, and environmental protection. Using a Trust Deed, any two or more people associated with any literary, scientific, or charitable purpose may establish a trust. Trust Deed must be filed with the Office of the Sub-Registrar of Jurisdiction. The Prevention of Names and Emblems Act should be consulted before selecting a Trust Name. The Jurisdictional Sub-Registrar is in charge of Trust Registration.
Types of Trusts
Trust can be either public or private. The appropriate State Government governs and regulates Public Trust, which is advantageous to society as a whole. The Indian Trusts Act, of 1882 governs and regulates private trusts, which are often established for the benefit of one or more individuals. Investing vehicles like mutual funds and venture capital funds can also be utilized as trusts. The Securities and Exchange Board of India is in charge of regulating these trusts (SEBI).
Public Trust:
The Public Trust’s primary goal is non-profit. Its goals include advancing the arts, business, science, research, education, sports, philanthropy, social welfare, religion, and environmental protection, among others. Any two or more individuals who are associated may establish a trust through the use of a trust deed for any artistic, scientific, or charitable goal. The Office of Jurisdictional Sub-Registrar is the place where the Trust Deed must be submitted. Before choosing a trust name, one should verify the Prevention of Names and Emblems Act. The Jurisdictional Sub-Registrar oversees Trust Registration.
Who must register a trust? According to Section 7 of the Indian Trusts Act of 1882, the following people may establish a trust:
- Anyone is able to enter into a contract.
- by a juvenile or on their behalf, with the consent of the original principal civil court.
- Undivided Hindu Family (HUF).
- Association of Individuals (AOP).
- By a lady, trust.
- Company.
What is Society?
The primary objective of Society is not to generate a profit. Its goals include promoting the arts, commerce, science, research, education, sports, charity, social welfare, religion, and environmental protection. By drafting a memorandum of association, seven or more people associated with any literary, scientific, or charitable purpose may form a society. The Registrar of Societies must receive the articles of incorporation. The memorandum must be appropriately signed by all of the organization’s members and include the organization’s name, its objectives, and the addresses, terms, and occupations of the governing body members by whatever name it may be known. In addition to the memorandum of association, a copy of the Society’s rules and regulations must also be filed. The Prevention of Names and Emblems Act should be consulted before selecting a Society Name. The District Society Register governs Society Registration.
Who may register a Society:
Any seven or more individuals who wish to report an NGO to promote the arts, commerce, science, research, education, sports, charity, social welfare, religion, or environmental protection.
What is a Section-8 Company?
The Section-8 Company is one type of company in India, and its primary purpose is charitable. Its goals include promoting the arts, commerce, science, research, education, sports, charity, social welfare, religion, and environmental protection, among others. How do Section 8 companies provide these services without receiving compensation? Yes, they provide these services through public and corporate donations. These businesses will receive government grants. The nature of Section-8 companies is comparable to that of a Trust or Society, but they will have a great deal of credibility because they are registered with the central government, and a statutory auditor provides an audit report at the end of the accounting period. It can appeal to the public for a worthy cause and easily obtain donations. Through www.mca.gov.in, the website of India’s Ministry of Corporate Affairs, donors can verify the financial reports. Section-8 Companies may be registered as either Public or Private.
The Government of India declared on January 26th, 2018 that there is no incorporation charge for businesses with authorised share capital up to Rs. 1,000,000/- (Rupees Ten Lakh). This charge has since been raised to Rs. 15 lakh. Most Indian states do not require the payment of stamp duty on MOA and AOA. The other fees, such as Name Availability, Permanent Account Number (PAN), and Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN), are applicable as usual.
Who shall register a Section-8 Company: Any individual or association of individuals wishing to register a limited liability company for the purposes listed below may apply for registration of a Section-8 Company. The Central Government must be satisfied that:
- Its objects include the promotion of commerce, art, science, sports, education, charity, religion, social welfare, research, protection of the environment, or any other object.
- The company, after incorporation, intends to apply its profits, if any, or other income exclusively to promoting such objects.
- The company intends to prohibit the payment of dividends to its members.
Section-8 Organization Trust Society
There are primarily three types of non-profit organizations in India, namely Section 8 Companies (previously Section 25): Section 20 of the Societies Registration Act of 1860-registered organizations.

Why Do I Need to Register a Trust?
Listed below are the primary motives for registering in a Trust.
Donations & Grants:
The public can donate to a cause easily, and this category of NGOs can quickly obtain government grants. Suppose a company receives licenses under Sections 80G and 12A of the Income Tax Act of 1961. In that case, the donors will receive tax benefits under section 80G of the Income Tax Act, and the company will be eligible for tax benefits under section 12A.
Low Cost of Formation:
The cost of forming a Society is significantly lower than that of a Section-8 company or a trust. No stamp duty is due at the time of a society’s incorporation, and Digital Signatures are not required. Additionally, the Annual Compliance Cost is less than Section-8 Company. Annually, only the Minutes of the Society’s members must be submitted to the Society Registrar.
License under FCRA:
The Society can quickly obtain a license under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act of 2010 and receive foreign contributions, donations, and grants. The Foreign Contribution Regulation Act makes obtaining consent simpler for Society.
