As per clauses inserted in Trust Deed, a bank account of trust is required to be opened though it is not mandatory for purchasing any immovable property for trust and there is even no rebate in stamp duty.

For buying a property bank account is not mandatory.

But, without bank account how the Trust will function.

No concession on stamp duty.

Bank account is necessary as the basic purpose for trust creation would be to create a seperate legal entity and it is distinguished from the person who are over the helm of affairs of the trust.

The transactions of the trust cant be deemed to be taking place until trust bank is in operation. The trustee cant be using their individual bank accounts that would create taxation problems later.

I don't think the Trust would like to entertain untrustworthy financial transactions to remain unaccounted. So, for tax point of view, it is important for the Trust to open a bank account to properly account for the financial transactions and property purchased out of the funds of the Trust.

There is no concession in stamp duty for a Trust.
