A Trust is one of the oldest legal forms for charity, education, religion or family wealth management in India. Public Trusts (charitable / religious) are registered under state Public Trust Acts (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu have their own). Private Trusts (family / wealth) are registered under the Indian Trusts Act 1882. FilingLab drafts the Trust Deed, gets it stamped and notarised, and registers with the Sub-Registrar / Charity Commissioner.
Everything required for Trust Registration. Government statutory fees (MCA stamp duty, trademark filing fee, etc.) are charged at actual cost and shown separately before payment.

Registration under the Indian Trusts Act 1882 or a state Act gives the trust a recognised legal basis for holding property.
A public charitable trust can obtain 12A income-tax exemption and 80G certification to offer donors tax deductions.
Assets settled into the trust are held by trustees for defined beneficiaries, protecting and preserving wealth across generations.
The trust deed defines objects, trustee powers and succession freely, allowing tailored governance for charitable or family purposes.
A trust is created by a registered deed before the sub-registrar, needing fewer formalities than incorporating a company.
