What is Public Trust Registration?

Public Trust Registration is the legal process through which an organization, operating for charitable or religious purposes, gets registered under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. Once registered, the trust becomes a legal entity, eligible to raise funds, apply for grants, receive donations, and avail tax exemptions under the Income Tax Act, among other benefits.

Public Trusts are distinct from private trusts because they serve a larger section of the public, benefiting people at large rather than a specific individual or group.

Why is Public Trust Registration Important?

1. Legal Status:
   Public Trust Registration grants the organization legal recognition and the ability to function as a non-profit entity under Indian law.

2. Tax Benefits:
   Registered public trusts are eligible for tax exemptions under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act. Donors contributing to the trust can also receive tax deductions.

3. Credibility:
   Registration enhances the trust's credibility, attracting more donors, volunteers, and supporters. It demonstrates that the organization operates transparently and is governed by law.

4. Access to Government Grants and Funds:
   Charitable trusts can access grants and funding from government schemes and private foundations, providing more resources for their activities.

5. Legal Protection:
   Being a registered trust ensures that the trust’s operations are in compliance with laws. It provides legal protection to the trust’s founders and members against any potential misuse or fraud.

6. Public Confidence:
   Trust registration assures the public that the charity operates within legal boundaries, promoting trust and reliability.
