In 2020, however, Punjab repealed the 1882 Act and enacted the Punjab Trusts Act, 2020 in its place, responding to Financial Action Task Force recommendations on money laundering and terrorist financing risks associated with trusts and waqfs. The new law introduced mandatory registration of all trusts, stricter trustee duties, and enhanced oversight and audit mechanisms — and was itself further refined by the Punjab Trusts (Amendment) Act, 2022. Because trusts created or registered under the old law needed fresh registration under the new Act, and because the 1882 Act's core principles on trustee duties still inform interpretation of the modern statute, having both texts together in one volume is genuinely useful for anyone working through this transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp;
