About Trust Registration
A trust is often the simplest structure for a charitable initiative, defined by a trust deed rather than a company constitution. We draft the deed and register it with the local Sub-Registrar.
Non-profits and special entities are scrutinised more closely, so we draft objects and governance clauses with the later 12A, 80G, CSR-1 and FCRA applications already in mind.
