If our experts find your requirement can't be fulfilled as scoped, you get a full refund of the professional fee — no questions, no fine print. Government charges already paid are pass-through and go to the government, not us.
Every quote shows the professional fee, government charges and taxes as separate lines — you approve the full breakup in writing before paying anything.
Stamp duty, filing fees and department charges go to the government, not to us. They vary by state, capital and applicant count, so we show them separately for your case.
The free consultation comes first. You only pay after you have seen the exact scope, the exact breakup and the expected timeline — no surprises later.

Overview
What is Trust Registration??
Trust is a Non-profit organization regulated under Indian Trust Act, 1882. A Trust is established for purposes like social service, education, healthcare or eradication of poverty or other charitable purpose. Simply, a trust is an arrangement wherein one person called trustee holds a property for the benefit of its beneficiary. The beneficiary can be one person or a mass or an unborn person. Once the property is vested in trustees, they become owner of trusteed but hey can use the property for the best benefit of beneficiary.
Trust needs to be created by execution of a Trust Deed which is duly registered. Trust Deed is a document which establishes the registration of a Trust and contain the details of trust, its aims and objectives and its bye laws. Minimum 2 persons are required to form a Trust who are settlor or trustee. The settlor is a person who declares the confidence and Trustee is a person in whose favour the confidence is declared. Any person competent to enter into an agreement and capable to hold property in its name can be trustee.
Types of Trust
Public Trust
A Trust which is created for the benefit of public at a large or a sizable portion and not for a particular section of society or a family are known as public Trust. A public trust can be a Public Charitable Trust or Public Religious Trust.
Private Trust
Trusts created for benefit of individual or a particular family or for management of a property are known as Private Trust. It can be Private Specific Trust or Private Discretionary Trust.
In India, Trusts are more popular for social causes than at individual level. Registered Trusts also avail benefits extended by Income Tax department but the private trusts are not considered for TAX exemptions. Trust are also considered for CSR donation these days.
ComplyKart is best known for the registration of Trusts in India and committed to provide 100 percent success to NGO.
Benefits
Advantages of Trust Registration
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Easy to Form
A Trust can be registered very easily as compared to other type of NGO. It requires only 2 person and takes only 15-20 days to get a trust registered.
Tax Exemptions
Charitable Trusts are eligible for registration under Sections 12A, of the Income Tax Act, hence can avail tax exemptions under Section 80G.
Smooth Working
With the registration of Trust there can be flexibility in distributions of responsibilities among Managing Trustees
Confidentiality
Transferring Asset to Trust would be generally safe and keep the trust asset confidential, unlike, the will which is a public procedure
Protecting the Assets
Trust is the most efficient way of protecting the assets. Once the assets transferred into Trust, it would be no longer part of settlor’s property and asset would be safe even if Settlor goes into financial difficulties.
Documents
What documents are required for Trust Registration in India?
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
Trust Registration process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 7
Decide the trust's objectives and structure
We start by finalising the trust's charitable or religious objectives and who will act as trustees. A public charitable trust typically needs a minimum of two trustees along with the settlor. Clear objectives at this stage prevent deed rework later.
Draft the trust deed
The trust deed is the heart of the registration. We draft it to cover the trust's name, objectives, trustees' powers, mode of succession, and how funds will be applied. It must be signed on stamp paper of the applicable value.
Gather trustee and address documents
We collect ID and address proofs of the settlor and all trustees, plus proof for the trust's registered office address. Incomplete or mismatched addresses are a common cause of delays at the registrar.
Execute the trust deed
The settlor and trustees sign the trust deed in the presence of witnesses. Execution formalises the trust and makes it legally binding on all parties.
Register the deed with the local sub-registrar
The signed trust deed is presented to the sub-registrar of assurances in the jurisdiction where the trust's office is located. Registration typically completes within a few days of presentation.
Obtain the registered trust deed
The sub-registrar returns the registered deed with the registration number and seal. This registered deed is the legal proof of the trust's existence and is needed for a PAN, bank account, and 12AB/80G applications.
Apply for PAN and open a bank account
The trust applies for a PAN in its own name and opens a bank account to receive donations and grants. This is also when you can begin the 12AB and 80G process with the Income Tax Department.
