09 July 2023 Hello everybody,
Can someone share on consequence of 80g application for a public religious trust which got coverted into public charitable trust?
Explaining in detail: the current public religious trust doesn't have any religion clause in its deed. However, since it has a temple which can be accessed by public, they got it registered as Public religious trust.
1. If it get converted into pubic charitable trust, since its a 15+ yr old trust, upon conversion should they wait for 3 years financials to get 80g registration or they can apply for 80g upon conversion?
2. Also upon conversion, by continuing their existing activities as before would it affect the 12a registration upon conversion to Public charitable trust?
Ll it get approved for 80g registration?

Pls share some insight on these lines
Thanks
