Quick Summary

This discussion outlines the procedure for merging two Indian trusts, Trust A and Trust B, which both have charitable objectives and are registered under the Indian Trusts Act. The process requires obtaining prior permission from the Commissioner of Income Tax and potentially the Charity Commissioner or Court, depending on applicable laws. It involves holding joint trustee meetings to discuss the pros and cons before proceeding with the amalgamation.

If the Trusts have the same purpose, then you can merge only with the permission of the Commissioner of Income Tax.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 25 July 2023
The trustees may amalgamate the Trust with another Charitable Trust or Institution having similar objects with prior permission of the Charity Commissioner/Court/any other law as may be applicable for the time being.
First , make an agenda and a social minutes book - then call a joint meetings of the council of trustees of such two trust and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed merger.
