Abstract: The Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950, regulates the administration of public charitable trusts in Maharashtra, ensuring transparency and accountability. Complementing it, the Bombay Public Trusts Rules, 1951 (amended in 2007), outline procedural requirements for trust operations. Alongside this, the Societies Registration Act, 1860, its Maharashtra-specific Rules, and the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, shape the legal landscape for charitable organizations. Together, these laws ensure compliance, accountability, and transparency in managing both public and private trusts, supporting non-profit organizations in their mission to serve the public good while adhering to regulatory standards.
