If your is a charitable trust, you may register the same with the jurisdicational Charity Commissioner of your area please.

Mr Jose is right . It has to be registered with jurisdictional charity commissioner. This authority is known by different names in different states. For example it is known as Devsthanam Commissioner (Deptt.)in Rajasthan.

Since you say that the trust is a charitable trust, I would advise you to get it registered under section 12AA / r.w.s. 11 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 with the Income-tax Deptt. If you want that the donor of funds to the trust also get deduction u/s 80G of the Act, then an application for that registeration is also required to be filed with the Commissioner of Income-tax . If you do not get the trust registered u/s 12AA as aforesaid , all the receipts of the trust will be treated as income of the trust and income -tax shall be levied.
For further details you can also contact the local income-tax office where facilitation counter will advise you further in the matter.
