NGO Registration

Start a non profit organisation to work for social, charitable or community causes. Register as a Trust, Society or Section 8 Company.

Overview

Turn your vision for change into action

A Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) works for social, charitable, educational or community causes without a profit motive. In India, an NGO can be registered in three forms: a Trust, a Society or a Section 8 Company.

Each structure has different requirements and benefits. A Section 8 Company offers the strongest credibility and limited liability, while a Trust or Society can be simpler to set up. We help you choose the right structure for your goals.

Our experts complete the registration and guide you on 12A and 80G for tax benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which NGO structure should I choose?
