Charity Commissioner Submission filings done right, deadlines never missed.

The Office of the Charity Commissioner is the principal statutory authority that supervises public charitable and religious trusts under the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, 1950 and the Bombay Public Trusts Rules. Every registered trust is required to make periodic submissions to the Charity Commissioner — beginning with the initial Schedule II application for registration, through change reports under Section 22 for amendments to the trust deed or trustee board, annual audited accounts and Schedule VIII under Section 33, and scheme petitions or applications for permission to sell or alienate immovable property under Section 36.

These filings are not optional. They form the statutory record of the trust's existence, governance, finances, and property. Lapses in Charity Commissioner submissions can result in monetary penalty under Section 66, inquiry proceedings, suspension of trustees, and in extreme cases cancellation of the trust's registration — outcomes that disturb 12A and 80G eligibility under the Income Tax Act, FCRA permissions, CSR receipts, and grant funding from domestic and international donors.

Our Charity Commissioner submission practice covers the full spectrum of filings — preparation of statutory forms, drafting of trustee resolutions, audit coordination, online portal submission, follow-up with the Charity Commissioner office, and representation in hearings where required. Our Chartered Accountants and compliance specialists handle filings for trusts of every size, from small family-run charities to large institutional foundations operating across India.
