Legal and Transparency

Every policy, in one place

All 24 policy areas identified for Dev's Foundation Trust are listed below, each classified by whether it is legally required, conditionally required, recommended governance practice, or operationally necessary. Every page is a draft awaiting legal review and Trustee approval, not a published, binding policy yet.

Demo content Time sensitive, flagged for immediate attention: the compliance snapshot in this project states 12A and 80G approval as provisional for AY 2024-25 to AY 2026-27. Provisional registration under Section 12AB is typically valid for three years, and the application for regular registration (Form 10AB) is due at least 6 months before that validity ends, or within 6 months of commencing activities, whichever is earlier. AY 2026-27 corresponds to FY 2025-26, ending 31 March 2026. On the information available here, both of those trigger dates appear to have already passed as of October 2026. This page does not assume the Trust has missed its renewal, since the actual filing history is not available here, but this should be confirmed with the Trust's Chartered Accountant immediately, because an expired provisional registration would affect whether current donations qualify for 80G deduction at all.

What is not yet built

  • A document verification register populated with real registration numbers, issue dates and renewal deadlines for every certificate the Trust holds
  • The internal governance manual (trustee procedures, delegation of authority, procurement, asset management)
  • CSR agreement templates, trustee resolution templates, and beneficiary and volunteer consent forms as separate signable documents
  • The admin compliance dashboard with automated filing reminders, described in the governance module brief
  • Independent legal, Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary review of every page above

These sit in the backend and professional services phase of this project, not the static website. See the handoff notes for next steps.
