What is a Trust?
A Trust is a legal arrangement in which the owner (the Settlor) transfers property or assets to a Trustee, who holds and manages these assets for the benefit of a third party (the Beneficiary). Trusts are created for various purposes, such as charitable activities, religious purposes, or estate planning, and are governed by the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 for private trusts or other relevant laws for public trusts.
Types of Trusts:
- Public Trust: Typically formed for charitable purposes, such as education, healthcare, poverty relief, or social welfare. These trusts are managed for the benefit of the public at large.
- Private Trust: Established for the benefit of specific individuals, often family members. Private trusts are commonly used for asset protection, estate planning, and inheritance management.
- Religious Trust: A trust formed to manage and promote religious activities, places of worship, and religious institutions.
Key Features of Trust Registration:
- Legal Entity: Once registered, the trust becomes a separate legal entity, independent of its founders, ensuring that its assets are managed according to the terms of the trust deed.
- Trust Deed: A Trust Deed is a critical document outlining the objectives of the trust, details of trustees and beneficiaries, and the manner in which the trust will be managed.
- Non-Transferable Ownership: The property or assets transferred to the trust cannot be claimed back by the settlor, ensuring that the trust remains focused on its purpose.
Benefits of Trust Registration:
- Tax Benefits: Registered charitable trusts can avail themselves of income tax exemptions under Section 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act, making it easier to manage funds for public welfare activities.
- Legal Protection: A registered trust enjoys legal recognition, making it easier to protect the trust’s assets and enforce the rights of beneficiaries.
- Perpetual Existence: A trust continues to exist even after the death or incapacity of its founders, ensuring long-term continuity of its purpose.
- Structured Governance: With a formalized Trust Deed, trusts benefit from structured governance, ensuring transparent management and accountability.
- Credibility and Donations: Registered public trusts are more likely to receive donations from individuals, corporations, and government bodies, as they are seen as more credible and accountable.
