The Public Charitable Objects of the TRUST.
The year 1980 saw the birth of the Mancherji Edalji Memorial Trust. Born out of the need for survival and preservation of the RESTRICTIVE COVENANT(which even today we are trying to uphold) the Trust has forged ahead relentlessly in this effort. The Mancherji Edalji Joshi Memorial Trust is registered under the BOMBAY PUBLIC TRUST ACT 1950, the Charity Commissioner of Maharashtra State and INCOME TAX ACT, 1961. Ever since its registration the Trust has been issued an ongoing 80G certificate of exemption under income Tax Act, thereby establishing its credentials as a well-managed Trust. Donors qualify for exemption under 80G on all donations to the Trust. Since inception the Trust has undertaken various Fund raising Drives such as procuring donations, releasing at thirty - seven consecutive Festival of Spring Jamshedi Navroze Gambhars and three successful and many splendored Winter Fairs, Winter Fair 80, 86 and 89.The proceeds from these drives are credited to The Corpus of the Trust and invested in approved securities and only the interest thereof utilized towards the CHARITABLE OBJECTS OF THE TRUST.
