Coverting from Society to trust

In Maharashtra, all charitable societies/institutions, upon registration under Society Registration Act, automatically get registered under the Bombay Public Trust Act.

Please, consult local/jurisdictional registration office.

Why, your friend wants to convert to trust. There is nothing under the Society Registration Act to prohibit imparting free education/trust.

You need not convert the society into a trust. The society can do all the acts of TRUSTS. Free education and other welfare activities can be executed under the society itself.

A Very Thin Line of Difference is there in between Charitable Society and Charitable Trust.

By Converting Society in Trust you will make it more accountable and you will get more benefits in Income tax.

In Maharashtra It automatically get registered as Trust after 2 month form regiistration of Society.

Maharashtra Trust it is governed by Bombay Public Trust Act, and Rules thereunder AND Societies are by Society Registration Act.

Pls Confirm the applicable laws as applicable in case of Tamil Nad.

In Karnataka there is a large difference between society and Trust. Because the societies are registered under the Societies Registration Act and Trusts are registered either under the Indian Trust Act or Bombay Public Trust Act(which is no more at present). Here is the difference between Society and Trust under Karnataka Laws

Moreover the High Court of Karantaka in its judgment wayback 1978 itself held that the properties of the Society cannot be transferred to the trust and society cannot convert itself in to a trust.

To convert society in to a trust, a special governemt order is required in Karnataka. Moreover if the society is running an educational institution it has to comply with the provisions of Karnataka Education Act 1983 along with the other formalities. The conversion without obtaining the Government permission nullifies the transfer of the properties of the society.

We have registered a society under Karnataka Societies Registration Act for running a school in village for poor children in 2012. Now, due to some reasons, we would like to convert the same into a Trust. Mr. Madhu Chikkakallur, in one of the above post observed that the conversion of society in to a Trust will require Special Approval of Government.

Can any of you please provide the guidance as to how to go about taking the approval of the government and proceedures involved? Your detailed response would be highly appreciated.
