The statute does not prescribe a waiting period, for a trust to qualify itself for registration. When the society/trust of assessee itself was formed on 30.05.2008 with the money available with the trust, one cannot expect them to do activity of charity immediately and because of that situation the authority cannot come to a conclusion that trust was not intending to do any activity of charity. In such a situation the objects of the trust have to be taken into consideration by the authority and the objects of the trust could be read from the trust deed itself - in favour of the assessee
