Bare Act

The Bombay Public Trust (Karnataka Amendment) Act, 2025

This Act amends the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950, specifically for its application within the state of Karnataka. Its primary purpose is to restructure the administrative hierarchy responsible for overseeing public trusts. By substituting specific sections of the Principal Act, it designates existing government officials—such as the Regional Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner, and Tahasildar—to hold the statutory powers of Charity Commissioner, Joint Charity Commissioner, Deputy Charity Commissioner, and Assistant Charity Commissioner, respectively. This change integrates the regulation of public trusts directly into the existing district and taluk-level administrative framework, ensuring that local officials are responsible for the supervision of trusts within their jurisdictions.
