NGOs registration mostly takes place in the form of Section 8 Company. Registration can be done for all the not-for-profit and charitable trusts under companies Act.

There are basically three ways to register your NGO in India.

Benefits Of Section 8 NGO Registration
NGO registration under the Companies Act, 2013 has its own perks. Let’s have a look.
More attractive for donations : Tax Saving
When you register your NGO as a section 8 company, under the Companies Act, the donors and directors of the company can easily avail of several taxation benefits. Likewise NGOs are often free from many taxes (VAT, IT) while using the same for more projects.
Doesn’t Require Share Capital
Unlike all the other companies, companies registered as NGOs don’t require a minimum share capital to function independently. NGOs can be funded directly with the donations made to them. If there are subscriptions, NGOs can also be used to support the proceedings undertaken by the organisation.
Credibility
Registering your NGO can help you get credibility in front of donors. Having your NGO as a section 8 company or trust increases the goodwill of the NGO.
Title Usage
There is no compulsion for Section 8 NGO to use any suffix at the end of their name. For Eg a private limited company or a public company is required to add “pvt. ltd.” or “ltd” at the end of name respectively. There is no such compulsion for a Section 8 NGO.
Transfer Of Ownership/Titles
Likewise in the case of NGOs registered under the Income Tax Return Act of 1961, in fact can easily transfer their ownership or claims of the interests earned. For other companies, it’s a complicated and time-taking process.
As a matter of fact“Serve people and society better” is the motto of NGOs. Yet, to ensure all that the goals are attained well. It’s important to get the right start.
For the beginning, NGO registration is the first step. So, if you’re planning to do any of the below-mentioned things, make sure your NGO registration is done!
- Using the self-governing body for the betterment of society while helping the poor and the needy.
- Helping the underprivileged people and provide the opportunity for growth.
Once you have defined the specific agenda of your NGO, you can go ahead with NGO registration
