Trust / Society Registration
An Overview
Trust and society registrations are essential legal mechanisms enabling the establishment of entities dedicated to serving charitable, educational, religious, or cultural causes within a structured framework. Trust registration involves the creation of a legal arrangement where trustees manage assets or funds for the benefit of beneficiaries as outlined in the trust deed. Conversely, society registration pertains to the formation of associations aimed at achieving diverse social or cultural objectives. The former centers on asset management for specific beneficiaries, while the latter focuses on broader societal welfare. Trusts appoint trustees governed by the trust deed, while societies operate through elected or appointed governing bodies. Trusts adhere to trust laws, whereas societies are regulated under specific societies registration acts. Both registrations promote organized endeavors for societal good, fostering transparency, accountability, and adherence to legal norms in their operations.

Immovable Property: In cases where the trust holds immovable property, registration could be mandatory to establish legal ownership.
Society Registration:
Legal Recognition: Forming a society may not always be mandatory, but registration often provides legal recognition, which is beneficial for formalizing the entity’s objectives, governance, and operations.
