Is it possible to convert a trust into a society?
Is it possible for a particular association to get registration under Trust which is already registered as Society under The Societies Registration Act
Thanks a lot for such an excellent article on the difference. I read your other articles too about registration of trust and society. They are extremely useful. I have a query. We are a group of friends planning to contribute a monthly amount and donate that amount to less privileged orphanages/homes. To avoid any tax implications to an individual’s bank account we are planning to register a trust or society to do this. My friends are located across India. Can you please advise what is the recommended option here ? Or do we need to register at all to do this kind of donation?
Firstly appreciate your help to her everyone here.
I have an educational society registered in 2010. Since then there are no activities conducted on this society due to various reasons. Now that we wanted to start, we wanted to apply for 80G for the registered society. Please help me with all what is required for getting 80G for our society.
Also, the society is registered in Andhra Pradesh before its bifurcation. We are helping 4 students with their education in the bifurcated state Telangana. Can we continue on the same society or should we register one more in the new state. Please help with your knowledge.

Is it possible to get an NGO registered both as a Trust and as a Society? If Yes, then would it be better to get it registered as a Trust first and then go for the Society? If NO, then why?
First of all thanks a lot for this good info. I have already registered a society under 1956 act and a school is running under this society. I need to ask you whether I can change this society into a trust?
Please advise. Regards, Brij
