What this is
A public charitable trust is created by a trust deed that names the settlor, the trustees, the property settled and the objects, and is registered with the sub-registrar in whose jurisdiction it is made. It is the simplest of the NGO structures to set up and run, with no annual filing to the MCA, though the deed itself does most of the governance work — so a loosely drafted deed is expensive to live with. Some states apply their own public trusts Act on top.
Scope
What’s included
- Trust deed drafted around your objects, trustee powers and succession
- Guidance on the state law and stamp duty that apply where the trust is made
- Attending the sub-registrar with the trustees for registration
- PAN application for the trust and support in opening its bank account
- A note on the 12A and 80G registrations needed before donations are exempt
Everything above is covered by the professional fee. Anything outside it is quoted before we start it, never after.
Who it suits
Families and small groups endowing a charitable purpose who want a light structure they control.
If that does not describe you, say so before you commit — there is usually a lighter filing that does the job, and we would rather point you at it.
Cost
What it costs
Our professional fee
Quoted on scope
We have not published a fee for this one. What it takes varies enough with the specifics that a number here would be a guess, and a guess is the one thing a fee should never be. Tell us what you need and you get a fixed figure in writing — before any work starts, and before you owe us anything.
Government & statutory fees
At actuals
Charged separately from our fee and paid to the relevant authority. They vary by state, by authorised capital, and by the slab you fall into, so we confirm the exact figures once we know your specifics.
We do not quote the two together as one number. They are charged by different parties and only one of them is ours. You will have both figures in writing before you decide.
Process
How it runs
Scope and quote
We confirm what you actually need, what our professional fee covers, and which government fees will apply in your case — in writing, before any work begins.
Documents
We send a checklist, then review everything you send back before it goes anywhere. Most delays start with a document, not with the authority.
Preparation and filing
We prepare and file the Trust Registration paperwork, then track the application and respond to any queries raised on it.
Handover
You receive every acknowledgement and certificate the authority issues, along with a plain-English note on what falls due next and when.
Processing time is set by the relevant authority, not by us. We can file promptly and follow up, but the approval itself sits with the department handling it.

AI advisor
Ask before you commit to anything.
Ask about the fee, the documents, or whether Trust Registration is the right filing for your situation — in plain English, and you get the answer before you get a recommendation.
The advisor gives general guidance, not binding legal or tax advice, and it does not file anything on your behalf. A chartered accountant reviews anything that matters.
