Dear Sirs,
Our Public trust (caste) for the purpose of providing shelter and food during temple festivals and welfare of particular caste, was formed during early 1910's but was not registered till now. A property was purchased with contribution of many relatives and registered on Principal trustee of that period later he donated back to the trust and during 1930's.and registered with registrar. The house was converted as Marriage hall to avail for poor relatives at free of cost. and also providing shelter and food during temple festivals and welfare.
Few of the relatives also donated lands to the trust all these years. Trustees are choosen every 2 years at General body meeting by all the members of the trust.
Now we want to register the trust properly and attach all the property to it. How to go about it.

This trust/society shall be registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. In certain states, which have a charity commissioner, the society must not only be registered under the Societies Registration Act, but also, additionally, under the Bombay Public Trusts Act. You have to mention the name of the Society or Trust and the aims & objects of the society in the memorandum of association and rules and regulations (election of members, quorum , membership fee etc...). A Society needs a minimum of seven managing committee members; there is no upper limit to the number managing committee members. The Board of Management is in the form of a governing body or council or a managing or executive committee. Registration can be done either at the state level (i.e., in the office of the Registrar of Societies) or at the district level (in the office of the District Magistrate or the local office of the Registrar of Societies). The procedure varies from state to state. Generally the application should be submitted along with memorandum of association and rules and regulations; an affidavit sworn by the president or secretary of the society on non-judicial stamp paper, and a declaration by the members of the managing committee that the funds of the society will be used only for the purpose of furthering the aims and objects of the society and be submitted in duplicate, with the required registration fee.
