Clarification Regarding Trustee/Trust
Clarifications have been sought on whether a trust or a trustee representing a trust in the case of “Real Estate Investment Trust” (REIT) or “Infrastructure Investment Trust” (InvITs) or such other trusts set up under the regulations prescribed under the Securities & Exchange Board of India Act, 1992, can become a partner in an LLP.
. The matter has been examined in consultation with the Law Ministry and it is clarified that for the purposes of these trusts it is not barred for a trustee, being a body corporate, to hold partnership in an LLP in its name without the addition of the statement that it is a trustee.
This issue with the approval of Competent Authority.
