Trust Registration - Draft It Legal

Make a Difference Legally. Start Your Trust with Ease.

A Trust is one of the most powerful and recognized legal structures for social impact, charitable giving, religious activities, and community welfare in India. Whether you're planning to start an NGO, educational institution, temple trust, or social welfare initiative, registering a trust gives your mission a legal identity and credibility.

At Draft It Legal, we simplify the Trust Registration process from end-to-end — including deed drafting, notary, PAN, and Section 12AB/80G applications.
