What is the procedure to change Public Trust Registered Office
08-Dec-2023 (In Wills / Trusts Law)
Hi, I am currently working in Bangalore but hail from J&K. We're about to start a religious Trust in Banglore whose operations won't be limited to Bangalore but our main focus will be on Kashmir. As we work in Bangalore, it would be easy for us to register and operate. Just in case, After few years we plan to go back to J&K, In that case what will happen to our Trust registered in Bangalore? Can we request to change the registered office? Or we need to cancel the registration and apply for the ne one in Jammu & Kashmir only? Thank You for your time and effort.
