Under Companies Act, 1956 Section 153 clearly stated that a trust cannot hold shares. But there is no such corresponding section in the new Act.
However there is no infirmity for a trust to hold shares of a private limited company as per the new act

You can add a director to a company but any trust cannot be a shareholder. You can form two Trusts as you like but cannot incorporate the company except as a trustee.
