NGO Registration Online — What It Covers

NGO Registration is the process of establishing a non-profit organisation under one of three Indian legal structures — Trust, Society, or Section 8 Company — each with its own governing law and suited to different organisational needs. The term "NGO" itself has no separate legal registration; it simply describes the purpose these structures serve.

Which Structure Fits Which Organisation

• Trust: straightforward to establish, common for a small group managing charitable assets or programs
• Society: designed for membership-based organisations, needing at least seven founding members
• Section 8 Company: the most institutionally credible structure, favoured where corporate or large-scale funding is the objective

Documents Required

• Identity and address proof for all founders, trustees, or directors
• Proof of the registered office
• A governing document — Trust Deed, Society Rules, or Section 8 MOA/AOA — reflecting the organisation's charitable purpose
• Passport-sized photographs of founding members
• The organisation's PAN, obtained after registration

The NGO Registration Process

1. Select the appropriate structure based on the organisation's goals
2. Draft the governing document with well-defined charitable objects
3. Collect the required identity and address documentation
4. File the application with the relevant registering authority
5. Receive the certificate and move on to PAN, 12A, and 80G registration
