I am the Vice President of an educational trust at Dharwad in Karnataka. It was registered as an educational trust in the year 1952 with the Assistant Charity Commissioner, Belgaum, Karnataka, under The Bombay Public Trust Act. The B.P.T. Act was repealed/abolished in Karnataka a few years ago. The new trust act brought into force by the Karnataka Government thereafter is applicable only to religious trusts and not to educational trusts. No separate act for educational trusts is enacted till today.
In the absence of any specific enactment,please advise and guide us under which Central Trust Act we need to re-register our educational trust and to which office we need to go to re-register our trust. And which office will be the controlling office for our trust.
