REGISTRATION OF SOCIETIES/TRUST

SOCIETIES: – A society is the simplest form of a Non-Governmental Organisation in India and can be registered to operate on state level or national level for educational, charitable, religious, social welfare purposes or for the promotion of art, music, culture, science, literature, and political education. In India, societies are registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. While the Societies Registration Act is applicable throughout India, many Indian states have specific laws on Society Registration as well. Societies are similar in character to trusts, although there a few essential differences. While only two individuals are required to form a trust, a minimum of seven individuals are required to form a society.

TRUST:– The Indian Trusts Act, 1882, defines a trust as an obligation, annexed by the ownership of property, arising of a confidence reposed in the owner and accepted him, for the benefit of another owner or another person known as its beneficiary. In simple words, the owner of the property / assets, called the ‘author of the trust’, entitles its ‘trustee’ to hold his property / assets for the benefits of other authors and beneficiaries. The public charitable trust is one of the possible form of not-for-profit entity in India. Typically, public charitable trusts can be established for various purposes, including the relief of poverty, education, medical relief, provision of facilities for recreation, and any other object of general public utility. Public Trusts are generally irrevocable.
