NGO & Organization Registration

End-to-end support for Trust, Society, and Section 8 registration — including 12A/80G tax exemptions and FCRA approval for foreign funding.

Three Ways to Register an NGO

Every NGO structure has its own advantages. We help you choose the right one and handle every step of the registration process.

Trust Registration

A public charitable trust is one of the simplest and most flexible NGO structures in India. Ideal for small to medium-sized charitable activities.

  • Minimum 2 trustees required
  • Governed by Trust Deed
  • Registered under State Trust Act
  • Eligible for 12A, 80G, FCRA
  • Lower compliance burden

Society Registration

A registered society under the Societies Registration Act is suitable for cultural, educational, religious, and charitable purposes.

  • Minimum 7 members required
  • Governed by Memorandum & Rules
  • Democratic management structure
  • Eligible for 12A, 80G, FCRA, CSR-1
  • Good for mid-sized NGOs

Section 8 Company

A Section 8 Company under the Companies Act is the most professional NGO structure — ideal for large-scale, national, or internationally-funded organisations.

  • Minimum 2 directors required
  • Governed by MCA/Companies Act
  • Highest credibility & transparency
  • Eligible for 12A, 80G, FCRA, CSR-1
  • Best for CSR & foreign funding

Tax Exemptions & Foreign Funding

After your NGO is registered, these certifications unlock tax exemptions and funding access. We handle all applications.

Section 12A — Income Tax Exemption

Exempts your NGO's income from income tax so all resources can be directed to your charitable mission. Required before applying for 80G.

Section 80G — Donor Tax Deduction

Allows your donors to claim 50% deduction on donations made to your NGO under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act — a major fundraising advantage.

FCRA — Foreign Contribution

FCRA registration is mandatory to legally receive donations, grants, or contributions from foreign sources. We handle the complete FCRA application process.

NITI Aayog / Darpan Registration

Mandatory for NGOs seeking government grants. Registration on the NITI Aayog NGO-Darpan portal gives your organisation a unique ID for government scheme eligibility.
