Methods of Registering an NGO in India
Basically, NGO Registration in India can be done under the following three methods:-
TRUST
One most suggestible way to form a Non-Government Organisation (NGO) is by registering it as a Trust under the Indian Trust Act 1882, if the NGO with charitable objects and works for eradicating poverty, giving education and providing medical relief. You might want to note that trusts are irrevocable. This means that they cannot change or terminated without the beneficiary’s permission. Any legal entity can establish a Trust in India through a registered Trust Deed which becomes a legal entity. All activities of a NGO can be done through the objectives of the said trust.
A Trust can be formed and registered with a minimum of 3 members.
In Maharashtra and Gujarat have Public Trust Acts to look into the affairs of NGOs.
SOCIETIES
An NGO can be form as Society under the Society Registration Act 1960 with District Registrar of Societies.
This can be form at Central or State Level. For State level formation, minimum 7 members from the same state essential. And for Central level formation, minimum 7 members from each states includes one from the state wherein Society intended to be registered is essential. There is no upper limit on the number of members in the society. NGO is run by a governing body or a managing committee. In case of societies, through election politics, it is possible to remove the person who had initiated the society in the first place.
Unlike trusts, societies function only within a definite geographical area, if not form central level.
SECTION 8 COMPANIES
A Section 8 Company has limited liability and cannot make any profits. It is generally formed for promoting science, art, commerce, charity, religion or any other purpose that is useful to society.
When compared to Societies and Trusts, Section 8 Companies have more benefit in the sense that they have more legal standing and better credibility among government bodies and donors. Minimum 2 members required to form such NGO.
Big advantage is Section 8 Company may convert into any other kind of company under companies act 2013 subject to compliance of certain conditions as may be prescribed.
