What’s better- Trust, Society or section 8 Company?

August 5, 2018 109569 Views 6 comments Print

One can set up either a public charitable trust, a registered society, or a Section 8 Company (a trust corporation). Each has its own advantages and constraints. If a person wishes to set apart either property or money for a charitable purpose so that the income may be devoted in perpetuity for the fulfilment of the charitable activity, and wants to limit control over the disposal of that income to persons whom he knows and trusts, then it is best to set up a public charitable trust. A public charitable trust can be set up under the Bombay Public Charitable Trusts Act 1950 in Maharashtra or Gujarat. Elsewhere in the country it can be set up under the general law, i.e., by registration of the trust deed with the registrar. But a private trust whose beneficiaries generally are relatives or friends and not society at large does not enjoy tax benefits.
