Trust Registration with TaxFixy
Start Your Charitable Work with a Legally Registered Trust
Want to work for a social cause or do charity work legally in India? Starting a Trust is one of the easiest and most recognised ways to carry out non-profit activities such as education, healthcare, old-age care, relief work, or religious services.
At TaxFixy, we help individuals, families, and social groups register charitable and religious trusts in India — smoothly, legally, and at an affordable cost. If you're ready to make a difference in society, we're here to support you every step of the way.
What is a Trust?
A Trust is a legal arrangement where a group of people (called trustees) manage assets or run activities for a charitable or religious purpose. It is governed by the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 (for private trusts) or by the relevant state public trust acts (for public charitable or religious trusts).
Once registered, the trust becomes a legal entity. It can:
- Open a bank account
- Own property
- Apply for tax benefits
- Receive donations or grants
Trusts are often used to run NGOs, schools, temples, old-age homes, and medical institutions.
Why Register a Trust?
Registering your trust gives it legal status and credibility. Here's why registration is important:
- Legal Recognition: A registered trust becomes a legal entity. It can enter into contracts, own property, and operate freely under the law.
- Tax Benefits: Once registered under 12A and 80G, your trust becomes eligible for tax exemptions and your donors can claim deductions.
- Better Trust and Transparency: Donors, banks, and government bodies trust registered organisations more than unregistered ones.
- Eligibility for Grants and Donations: To receive funds from the government or apply for CSR or foreign contributions (FCRA), your trust must be registered.
- Clear Governance: Registration ensures proper records, trustee roles, and usage of funds are documented and legally monitored.
Who Should Register a Trust?
- Individuals or families who want to run charity or social service
- Groups starting educational, healthcare, or religious services
- Community leaders working on local development or environmental causes
- NGOs and foundations that need a simple legal structure
- Spiritual or religious bodies running temples, ashrams, or dharamshalas
Types of Trusts in India
- Public Charitable Trust: Formed for public welfare — education, health, poverty relief, culture, etc.
- Religious Trust: Created for religious activities — temples, prayer halls, spiritual teaching, etc.
- Private Trust: Formed for specific individuals, like family trusts for asset management.
TaxFixy primarily helps with Public Charitable & Religious Trust registration.
