17 September 2013 Many. But first thing first...have u done any activity in this trust?

Assuming that you have, kindly apply for PAN, TAN, Service tax (if applicable), VAT (if applicable). Prepare financials for all the years. File tax returns for past two years. Approach AO to issue notice for filing returns for earlier years.

Once this is done, apply for registration as a charitable entity with tax authorities (again if applicable).

Needless to say, there shall be decently large penalties in this case.
