Quick Summary

This discussion explores the possibility of a trust providing loans to its members, particularly when the main trustee is also the primary funder. While generally, trust members cannot receive loans directly, the possibility of providing loans to employees or advances for expenses is mentioned. The conversation also touches upon using loans to generate income for the trust through interest, and the need for clear guidance and potential circulars regarding these practices.

28 July 2021 DEAR SIR,

ONE OF MY CLIENT STARTED TEMPLE TRUST. HE IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF THE FUND TRUST ACTIVITIES. MEANS HE IS MAIN TRUSTEE. OTHER TRUSTEES ARE HIS RELATIVES OR FRIENDS. HE WANTS TO GIVE LOANS TO HIS TRUST MEMBERS THROUGH TRUST FUND. CAN IT BE POSSIBLE TO GIVE LOANS TO ITS MEMBERS. HE COLLECTS SIMPLE INTEREST FOR THE LOAN GIVEN. THE INTEREST WILL BE TRUST INCOME. SO I NEED YOUR GUIDENCE.
