If a charitable trust receives a corpus contribution for a specified purpose in the future. Let's assume to purchase a property after 5 years. Can that corpus be invested in: 1) Corporate Fixed Deposit of Bajaj Finance Ltd. 2) Equity Shares of ANY listed company. or does one need to invest this money specifically in Specified modes of investment under section 11(5) too? Kindly quote the act or rules before answering. The question is very relevant since today we know a lot of trusts investing in Corporate FDs of Bajaj Finance or Equity Shares of Listed Co.

No charitable trust can invest in Bajaj finance and in equity shares. If you know such investments made the concerned auditors are responsible in reporting. Specified modes of investment under section 11(5) only allowed.

Seetharaman Sir, Why will the Auditor falsely report the same but? Because Section 11(5) does not allow trusts to invest in Bajaj Finance FD or Equity Shares of a Private Company.
