REGISTRATION SERVICE

Trust / Society / Section-8 Company Registration

Legal registration of your NGO, charitable trust, or Section-8 company — the correct structure for your mission and funding needs.

Overview

Choosing the right legal structure for your non-profit is critical — it affects your taxation, governance, ability to receive foreign funds, and credibility with donors. A Public Charitable Trust is the simplest structure. A Registered Society suits membership-driven organisations. A Section-8 Company under the Companies Act offers the highest credibility for CSR and institutional funding. We advise on the best structure and handle complete registration.
