NGO Registration

What Is NGO Registration?

NGO Registration is the legal process of forming a non-profit organization that works for social welfare, charity, education, healthcare, environment, or community development. Depending on the structure—Trust, Society, or Section 8 Company—NGOs must comply with different laws, governing bodies, and documentation requirements. Proper registration ensures credibility, enables funding, allows tax benefits, and provides legal protection for founders and donors.

We help individuals, groups, and organizations choose the right NGO structure and complete end-to-end registration—drafting deeds, preparing documents, filing applications, and ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks.

NGO Registration

NGO Registration covers all forms of non-profit entities, including Trusts, Societies, and Section 8 Companies. Each type requires different governing documents, objectives, and compliance procedures. Proper registration strengthens your organization’s credibility and enables you to legally undertake charitable activities.

We guide you through selecting the correct structure based on your vision and operational goals. Our service includes drafting required documents, PAN/TAN application, bank account setup guidance, and compliance instructions to ensure a smooth start for your NGO.

Section 8 Company Registration

A Section 8 Company is a non-profit organization formed under the Companies Act for promoting charitable activities. It is highly respected for its structured governance, credibility, and ability to receive donations. The registration process involves multiple approvals from the Registrar of Companies and compliance with strict financial reporting requirements.

We handle all aspects of Section 8 Company formation—name reservation, drafting MOA/AOA, digital signatures, filing incorporation documents, and obtaining licenses. Our legal support ensures timely approval and full compliance with corporate governance standards.

Trust Registration

A Trust is formed when the settlor transfers property or funds for charitable purposes managed by trustees. Trust registration requires a Trust Deed, proof of registered office, and identity documents of all trustees. It is widely used for temples, educational institutions, and welfare organizations.

We draft a legally solid Trust Deed that clearly defines objectives, roles of trustees, management structure, and operational guidelines. We assist with registration before the Sub-Registrar and help you prepare for long-term compliance and asset protection.

Society Registration

A Society is formed by a group of individuals united for educational, cultural, religious, or community development purposes. The registration requires a minimum number of members, governing body details, bylaws, and compliance with state-specific Society Acts.

We assist in drafting society bylaws, preparing documentation, obtaining name approval, and filing with the Registrar of Societies. Our structured approach ensures your society is legally recognized and capable of receiving grants and working with government bodies.
