NGO/Trust Registration
NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) or Trust Registration is the legal process of forming a non-profit organization that works for charitable, educational, social, cultural, or environmental causes.
Registering an NGO allows individuals or groups to work legally for community development and social welfare. It also enables the organization to receive donations, government support, and funding from national and international agencies.
In India, NGOs can be registered in different forms such as Trust, Society, or Section 8 Company depending on the nature and scale of activities.
Under the Indian Trust Act, 1882, a trust is created when a person (the settlor) transfers property or assets to trustees for the benefit of the public or a specific group of beneficiaries.
NGO or Trust registration helps organizations operate transparently while ensuring their activities are aligned with charitable objectives such as education, healthcare, poverty relief, environmental protection, and social welfare.
