Dear Sir,
If we have a public charitable trust and running an educational institution or hospital and it is profitable. My questions are:
1) Who has the authority to change the bye laws of the trust? can they be changed from time to time? is it the chairman or trustess?
2) Can the income be used for some personal purposes?
3) If it is foreseen that the reason for which the trust is set up i.e. educational institution is not operating properly due to unforeseen circumstances, can the properties be sold and are the proceeds kept by the chairman/trustees?
4) Can you change the public charitable trust to a private charitable trust?
Would greatly appreciate your response. Thanks and Best Regards.

1. Chairman himself can never change the clauses rather this right vests in its trustees.
2. No. Not inn any circumstances as this is an offence.
3. No. In that situation, the properties shall be handed over to some other trust having similar bye-laws till the period these trustees are unable to run the affairs.
4. You means? Trustees can pass a resolution to this effect and can obtain the permission of Registrar. If granted then change can take place otherwise no chance.
