Overview
A trust is a long-established structure for managing assets or running charitable activities, created when a settlor transfers property to trustees to hold and manage for the benefit of beneficiaries. Public charitable trusts are commonly used to run NGOs, schools, hospitals and welfare initiatives.
The trust deed is the foundational document — it names the settlor, trustees and beneficiaries, defines the objects of the trust, and sets out how it will be managed and how trustees are appointed or removed. A carefully drafted deed is essential for smooth functioning and for obtaining tax benefits.
CorpRaasta drafts a comprehensive trust deed tailored to your objectives, assists with registration before the relevant sub-registrar, and can obtain 12A and 80G registrations so the trust’s income is exempt and donors receive tax deductions.
What is Trust Registration?
A trust is a legal arrangement in which a settlor transfers property to trustees to hold and manage for the benefit of beneficiaries or for charitable purposes, governed by a trust deed and the applicable trust law.
Why it matters
A well-drafted, properly registered trust deed gives your charitable organisation legal validity, clear governance, and the basis to claim tax exemptions and receive tax-deductible donations.
