Religious Trust Registration

Overview

A Religious Trust is established for the management and administration of religious institutions, places of worship, religious ceremonies, and associated activities such as temples, mosques, churches, gurdwaras, and religious endowments. Governed by state-specific trust and endowment laws alongside general trust law principles, a Religious Trust provides a legally recognised structure for managing religious property, conducting worship-related activities, and ensuring trustee accountability for religious assets. This package covers Religious Trust Deed drafting with worship and religious objects, state-specific Charity Commissioner or Sub-Registrar registration, PAN application, and guidance on 12A registration eligibility.
