Trust Registration Consultant in Gurugram
A public charitable trust in Gurugram is formed by a written deed signed by the settlor and trustees and registered at the Sub-Registrar office with jurisdiction. The Indian Trusts Act, 1882 governs the trust, the Registration Act, 1908 governs registration of the deed, and Haryana's stamp rules apply. ICP Legal drafts the deed, prepares the signing and guides PAN, bank account, 12A and 80G. We serve Gurugram from our Noida office.
Key Facts
- Governing law: Indian Trusts Act, 1882, and Registration Act, 1908.
- Stamp duty follows the Haryana stamp schedule, not Delhi's or Uttar Pradesh's.
- People: a settlor and trustees, usually at least two.
- The deed is signed in person before the Sub-Registrar.
- A trust is not a separate legal person.
What makes a Gurugram trust different
A Gurugram trust deed is stamped under Haryana rules and registered at a Haryana Sub-Registrar office. A deed prepared for Delhi or Noida cannot simply be reused, because the stamp duty and office practice differ. We prepare the deed on the correct Haryana stamp paper and confirm the office before the signing date.
