Difference Between Trust and


Society in India
Learn the difference between society and charitable trust in India. I present a trust vs
society comparison of NGOs so that you can easily decide which one is better for your
social work.

Recently I had written about how to register a trust and the process of registering a
society in India. I have written several articles on the subject of NGOs in India. Today, I
though that I should present a summary of differences between trust and society.
These two are the main types of non prot organizations in India. Often people ask
Trust or Society, which is better?. There is no universal answer to this question. Both
society and trust have their own benets and drawbacks. You should spend some
time considering both these options. The following comparison table should help you
in deciding which is better for your circumstances and objectives.

You can not take any prot from a charitable society or trust. Your main motive is
business -so you should register a company. Also register a trust or society. Do
business through you company and donate 60% of prot to the trust/society so that
it can do charity work.

Dear Lalit

Thanks a lot for such an excellent article on the difference. I read your other articles too
about registration of trust and society. They are extremely useful. I have a query. We are a
group of friends planning to contribute a monthly amount and donate that amount to
less privileged orphanages/homes. To avoid any tax implications to an individuals bank
account we are planning to register a trust or society to do this. My friends are located
across India. Can you please advise what is the recommended option here ? Or do we
need to register at all to do this kind of donation?

Reply

Lalit Kumar says

Well, it is recommended that you either register a trust or society for this purpose.
There is no recommended option as to whether you should register a trust or a
society. It depends on your organizational needs. In both cases you will open a bank
account, apply for a PAN, apply for 80g and 12a. This will save you from paying
Income Tax as you will not be directly receiving money as an individual. As an
individual, you should not accept monetary donations but if you do -then you will have
to pay Income Tax on the donations received -even if you use the donations for
charitable purpose.

Hello Lalith,

Firstly appreciate your help to her everyone here.

I have an educational society registered in 2010. Since then there are no activities
conducted on this society due to various reasons. Now that we wanted to start, we
wanted to apply for 80G for the registered society. Please help me with all what is
required for getting 80G for our society.

Also, the society is registered in Andhra Pradesh before its bifurcation. We are helping 4
students with their education in the bifurcated state Telangana. Can we continue on the
same society or should we register one more in the new state. Please help with your
knowledge.

Hi Rajeev, you should go to the bank of your choice and ask them about how to open

If that sufce your purpose, you would not need to register an NGO.

of their individual trusts.

Lalit Kumar says

No, this is not so straightforward! The funds that you collected were given to you to
carry out a certain social work. If your trust deed allows, you may donate your trust
funds to the other trusts with similar objectives but you can not just divide the funds
like you said.

A registered public charitable trust wants to sell utility articles to public at large for

so as not to invalidate the nature of its existence.

A trust can have business income of upto Rs. 10 lakh. If your income by selling
utility articles go beyond Rs. 10 lakh, you may have to pay income tax on that.

Dear Sirs,
I was made trustee along with one more person by the alone surviving trustee in the year
2010. Later I came to know that in this particular registered deed, in last a paragraph
was included And this indenture further witness that this Religious & Charitable Trust
HAZARIBAGH ROAD SHREE RAM KRISHNA aSHRAM BEING REGISTERED UNDER
SOCIETIES REGISTRATION ACT XXVIof 1961 having Registered Ofce at Kolkata in the
Schedule in part recited in the Deed of Trust shall vest in the new trustees along with the
continuing trustees without any further assurance in that behalf.
Actually I came to know that this society was made by old trustees with other members
to make a Governing body of the trustee, while our this trust was made in year 1945 by
registering a deed in Kolkata and this Society was made in the year 1994-95. After
holding the ofce of Trustees, we removed the Governing Body and taken full control of
the trust.
Now my question is how we can rectify this error? What will be the effect of this error on
us? As we have given a part of our property on lease to a school and by ling one PIL,
one person has made party to the Society in that lease matter case, while only we
trustees has signed on the lease agreement paper.

Brijesh, social work is all about putting ones own resources to the welfare of society.
Surely, one can seek governments help but essentially it should mainly be about
making good use of resources that are there at your disposal. If youll do good work,
help will come. If youll just keep on thinking about government help, then probably it
will be too late to begin. So, my friend, just go ahead and begin the good work.

Many thanks for your article, well written and very informative. I have a query related to

Thanks again for your good work.

Reply

Lalit Kumar says

Dear Alka,
Yes, a registered trust is a legal entity which is bound by its own constitution (called
Trust Deed). Please note that the trust must be a registered one. If youre entering
into a legal contract with a trust, you should check their Trust Deed and see if there is
any clause that you may not like. Later on, if the contract is breached, you can drag
the Trust to courts. But remember that a Trust is allowed to do activities which is
permissible in the Trust Deed. So, it is important for you to check the Trust Deed.
Hope it helps.

Type of organization is not really linked with what you want to do. You can

It would be nice to know how the government (state and central) looks at these two
entities from the point of view of giving aid (funding), subsidies, etc. I know that private
funding is harder to receive by trusts but dont know if thats true for tax-exempt trusts.

Thank you.

Trusts are valid all over India by default. You dont need to do anything.

We have a Trust registered under Karnataka Societies Act. We also got registered
under section 12A of Income Tax act, 1961 in the same state. Now we want to
transfer its jurisdiction in Delhi. So do we have to get it registered again in Delhi
Societies registration act?

Lalit Kumar says

Trusts can function on all India basis. You dont need to re-register your trust
in Delhi.
