A charitable trust is an irrevocable trust established for charitable purposes, and is a more specific term than "charitable organization". In India, trusts set up for the social causes and approved by the Income Tax Department, not only get an exemption from payment of tax but also the donors to such trusts can deduct the amount of donation made to the trust from their taxable income.

 Such Charitable Trusts  can be created for advancement of education, child development, promotion of public health and comfort, relief of poverty, furtherance of religion, or any other purpose regarded as charitable in law. Benevolent and philanthropic purposes are not necessarily charitable unless they are solely and exclusively for the benefit of public or a class or section of it.
