Exactly What It Is

One product. Stated plainly.

No tiers. No upgrades. No confusion. Here is everything Trust Fund Baby does — and does not do.

Legal Structure
Irrevocable Private Specific Trust
Governed by the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. A separate legal entity with its own PAN. Not a savings account. Not a mutual fund account in your name. A trust that belongs to your child.
Investments
Mutual Funds Only
All AMCs, all schemes, you choose the fund. Minimum SIP of ₹5,000/month. No stocks, no FDs, no gold. Mutual funds only — simple, liquid, and regulated.
Setup Cost
₹0 — Free Forever
Trust deed, e-stamp paper, Trust PAN application — all automated, all included. We earn trail commission from AMCs. You pay nothing to start.
Lock-in
Until the child turns 21
This is not a policy. It is the trust deed. No parent, creditor, court order, or divorce settlement can access the corpus before the child's 21st birthday.
Emergency Withdrawals
Two cases. Strict caps. CA approval.
Education: max 25% of corpus. Healthcare: max 50% of corpus. Both parents approve in writing. Supporting documents required. CA reviews in 3–5 working days.
ITR Filing
Free. Always. Unless you withdraw.
The trust files its own annual ITR. In years with no transactions: nil return, filed free for all 21 years. If a withdrawal or redemption occurs: ₹5,000 filing fee for that year only.
Revenue Model
Trail Commission from AMCs Only
We earn 0.5–1% per year on your child's trust AUM, paid by the AMC — not by you. Fully disclosed. Our incentive is for the corpus to grow. Nothing else.
At Age 21
Full corpus. 30 days. Their bank account.
The trust terminates. Every rupee transfers to the child within 30 days. At age 13, they get a read-only dashboard to watch it compound for 8 years before receiving it.
Why This Exists

The belief behind the product.

Every Indian parent intends to invest for their child. Most never do. Not because they lack money — but because the complexity of the right structure becomes a reason to delay. Three years pass. The intention is intact. The compounding is not.

The irrevocable trust is not a new idea. Wealthy Indian families have used it for generations. A separate legal entity. A ring-fenced corpus. Money that belongs to the child — untouchable by creditors, divorce settlements, or the parents' worst financial year.

Trust Fund Baby automates everything that was previously expensive and slow: the trust deed, the e-stamp paper, the Trust PAN, the annual ITR filings. Done in 10 minutes. Free. And then it does two more things nobody else does: it lets your entire family contribute to the corpus as gifts — and it educates your child about money from the age of 13, so they know what to do with it at 21.

One product. No upsells. The structure that works — available to every parent who decides today.

The Numbers

₹5,000/month. 21 years. Compounding.

You invest total
₹12.6L
₹5,000 × 12 months × 21 years
Projected corpus at 21 (12% CAGR)
₹63.2L
953% return on invested capital
PPF at same contribution (7.1%)
₹28.3L
Not ring-fenced. ₹34.9L less.
Starting 3 years late costs your child ₹18 lakhs — not because you invested less, but because the final years of compounding produce most of the wealth. A corpus of ₹35L at age 16 becomes ₹63L by 21. Start at birth. Start with ₹5,000. Change it later. But start today.

The Process

From decision to live trust
in under 15 working days.

01
Verify and create — 5 minutes
Enter your mobile number. Complete Aadhaar OTP eKYC via DigiLocker — both parents. Add your child's name, date of birth. Upload the birth certificate. OCR verifies name and DOB automatically. No paperwork. No branch visits.
⏱ Day one · 5 minutes
02
The legal structure builds itself
Trust deed auto-generated from the verified template — every field pre-filled. e-Stamp paper arranged via Stockholding API. You e-sign via DigiSign (Aadhaar-based, legally valid under the IT Act). Trust PAN filed via Protean API (Form 49A). You do nothing except sign. We do everything else.
⏱ 7–15 working days for PAN
03
Choose your fund. Start the SIP.
Once the Trust PAN arrives, choose any mutual fund across any AMC. Set your SIP — minimum ₹5,000/month. The mandate is created under the trust's PAN, not yours. The money enters the trust the moment it leaves your bank. It is your child's from that instant.
⏱ Immediate once PAN arrives
04
21 years. Fully automated.
Annual ITR filing — done by us, free. Wellwisher contributions — your family gets a unique gifting link, no account needed for them. Milestone notifications at ₹1L, ₹5L, ₹10L, ₹25L, ₹50L. At 13, your child gets a read-only dashboard. At 21, the corpus transfers in full. You just watch it grow.
⏱ 21 years · Zero admin from you
For Family and Friends

Stop gifting toys.
Gift a future.

Anyone — grandparents, uncles, family friends — can contribute to your child's trust fund as a gift. No account. No fees. Just a link. The contribution compounds for 21 years. The child sees it at 13. They never forget it.

1

Parent shares a unique contribution link

Something like trustfundbaby.in/gift/aarav — generated instantly from your dashboard and shareable via WhatsApp in one tap.

2

Wellwisher pays — no account needed

UPI, card, or netbanking. Under ₹50,000: name and relationship only. At or above ₹50,000: PAN required under PMLA rules. That is the only restriction.

3

Gift certificate auto-generated — forever

A digital certificate with their name, amount, and personal message. Printable, frameable. The child reads it on their dashboard at 13 — with every contributor's message preserved.

The compounding effect: A one-time gift of ₹25,000 at birth, compounding at 12% for 21 years, becomes approximately ₹2.1 lakhs. A gift that keeps compounding — every single month.

For Your Child — Age 13 to 21

At 13, your child inherits
their own dashboard.

They watch the corpus grow. They see every contributor. They learn how money works — so that when they receive it at 21, they know exactly what to do with it.

📈
Real-time fund value and growth chart
The child sees their corpus since birth — the exact number, the growth curve, the projected value at 21. A teenager watching their own wealth compound is not abstract. It is viscerally motivating.
👥
Every contributor — forever
Every person who ever contributed — parents, grandparents, family friends — listed with their name, amount, and personal message. A 17-year-old reading their grandmother's message from their first birthday. That is not a feature. That is a family moment.
🏅
Milestone badges and countdown
Notifications when the fund crosses ₹1L, ₹5L, ₹10L, ₹25L, ₹50L. A live countdown to their 21st birthday with the projected corpus updating in real time.

Outside these two cases, the corpus is completely inaccessible before the child's 21st birthday. No other reason accepted. This applies to parents, creditors, court orders in divorce, and Trust Fund Baby itself. The money belongs to the trust — and the trust belongs to your child.
From Our Families

The moment it becomes real.

These are the conversations that happen after the trust goes live. Not pitches. Not reviews. Moments.

How We Make Money

Full disclosure.
No surprises. Ever.

We earn trail commission from AMCs. When your child's trust invests in a mutual fund, the AMC pays us a trail commission — typically 0.5–1% per year of the AUM in that fund. Paid by the AMC, not by you. You pay ₹0 to create the trust and ₹0 in platform fees.

We disclose this because it matters. We have a commercial incentive for the AUM in your child's trust to grow. We will never recommend a fund based on the commission it pays us. We earn more when the corpus grows — regardless of which fund it is in.

The one fee you might pay: If a withdrawal or redemption occurs in any year, a ₹5,000 ITR filing fee applies for that year. In all other years, ITR filing is included free — because it is a nil return and it should not cost you anything.

The business model works because of irrevocability. A customer who starts a trust and stops contributing after one year still has a live trust that we service for 21 years. That is the product design — and the reason we can offer it free to start.

Every month you wait
is lost to compounding.

Three years late costs your child ₹18 lakhs. The start is free. The minimum is ₹5,000/month. The structure is legally sound. The only variable is when you decide.
