NGO Registration in India

Empower Your Mission with Legal Recognition

At GlobalTaxTrix, we support changemakers. Whether you are a group dedicated to social welfare or a corporate entity investing in CSR initiatives, registering as an NGO provides your mission with credibility, a legal structure, and access to benefits that enable lasting impact.

What is an NGO?

A Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) is a legally recognized entity formed for charitable, social, religious, educational, or environmental purposes. NGOs operate without the intent of making a profit. In India, NGOs can be registered under the Trust Act, the Societies Registration Act, or as a Section 8 Company under the Companies Act.

Forms of NGO Registration in India

  1. Trust (Indian Trusts Act, 1882)
    Best suited for charitable activities and managed by trustees.
  2. Society (Societies Registration Act, 1860)
    Appropriate for cultural, educational, religious, or welfare activities; requires at least seven members.
  3. Section 8 Company (Companies Act, 2013)
    A corporate non-profit structure with a formal governance model; requires a minimum of two directors.
