Nothing should be taxable in your case.
1. the purpose of ur trust is charitable as per the definition under section 2(15) of the Act.
2. You have utilised more than 85% of the total inflows for charitable activities. So where does the question of setting the funds aside arose?

Hi Dilip,
In my opinion you will get covered under "preservation of environment" and not under any other object of general public utility.
