NGO Registration

NGO(Non Governmental Organization) is a term that has become widely accepted as referring to a legally constituted, non-governmental organization created by natural or legal persons with no contribution or symbol of any government. In the cases in which NGOs are funded totally or partly by governments, the NGO maintains its non-governmental status and excludes government representatives from membership in the organization

In India non profit / public charitable organisations can be registered as trusts, societies, or a private limited non profit company, under section-25 companies. Non-profit organisations in India (a) exist independently of the state; (b) are self-governed by a board of trustees or ‘managing committee’/ governing council, comprising individuals who generally serve in a fiduciary capacity; (c) produce benefits for others, generally outside the membership of the organisation; and (d), are ‘non-profit-making’, in as much as they are prohibited from distributing a monetary residual to their own members.
