| How do I register the foundation ? You can register it under Bombay Public Trust Act, Societies Registration Act, 1860 or under section 25 of the Companies Act . | Who do I contact ? For the first Act, contact the Charity Commissioner. For the Companies Act, contact Registrar of Companies, 100 Marine Drive, Mumbai 20. | What are the expenses involved ? Depends upon the status and authorised capital. Tejinder Singh Rawal Chartered Accountant
