Establishing a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) is a rewarding way to contribute to society by promoting social welfare, education, health, and various other charitable causes. To ensure your NGO operates legally and efficiently, Shiromani Associates provides expert assistance in registering your organization under the appropriate legal framework in India.
NGO registration in India can be done under different legal structures depending on the organization’s objectives. The most common structures are:
Society Registration: Governed by the Societies Registration Act, 1860, ideal for organizations focusing on social welfare, education, or arts. A minimum of seven members is required.
Trust Registration: Suitable for charitable organizations aiming to work in areas like healthcare, poverty alleviation, or religious purposes.
Section 8 Company Registration: Under the Companies Act, 2013, for NGOs that want to operate with corporate governance while promoting charitable activities.
The registration process is essential for obtaining legal recognition, enabling fundraising, availing tax exemptions, and ensuring compliance with Indian laws.
Step 1: Expert Guidance
Our team will guide you in selecting the most suitable legal structure for your NGO, whether it’s a society, trust, or Section 8 company, based on your mission and objectives.
