Lately, I have done research about how to register non-profit organizations in India. I thought of presenting my findings in this article so that others on the same quest can be benefited. In India, Non Profit Organizations (NPOs) are often called the Non-Government Organizations (NGOs). An NGO could be registered as one of the following three ways:
- As a Trust (See how to register a trust)
- As a Society
- As Section 25 Company
Of these three, trust and society are the most popular and easiest way of doing social work. I have written a separate article on difference between a trust and society. Some people feel confused between a trust and a foundation, so I have an article about this as well.
In India, societies are governed by a central act called Societies Registration Act, 1860. All the states in India have adopted this act (with or without modifications) to create authorities at state level that register non-profit societies.
- The main documents in the registration of a society are Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Rules and Regulations (RR). These two documents are written/printed/typed on plain papers.
- Minimum seven people are required to form a society. There is no upper limit on the number of members.
- These members have various designations that can be decided among themselves. Common designations are President, Vice-Present, Secretary, Joint-Secretary and Treasurer etc.
- These members are collectively called the Governing Body. This body directs and controls the functioning of the society.
- All the members of society are elected for a specific period (which should be mentioned in the MOA). After expiry of this period; the post is filled through elections in which members of the Governing Body take part.
- Because of the involvement of election process –societies are more democratic than trusts. But at the same time –power struggle and politics may also creep in as drawbacks. In case of societies, through election politics, it is possible to remove the person who had initiated the society in the first place.
- Unlike trusts, societies function only within a specified geographical area. To make an all India level society, you would need at least eight members (of which five should be from different states of India)
- The Memorandum of Association must mention:
- Name of the Society
- Address of the registered office
- Names, designations, addresses and occupations of the members of first governing body
- Objectives of the society
- No stamp paper is required for MOA and RR
- Most important part of the MOA that you should pay attention to is objectives. You should be as thorough as possible in writing down objectives so that you can function smoothly without any problems.
- Related people (i.e. belonging to the same family) cannot be part of the governing body.
- Members of the Governing Body can not draw any remuneration from the society funds.
- While executing their duties as members, expenses incurred by the members of the Governing Body can be reimbursed from the society funds.
- Society income is exempted from tax. For this, after registration, you need to acquire a certificate from the Income Tax Department. This certificate is called 12A
- Donations to the society are also exempted from tax (i.e. the donor will not have to pay tax on the amount of donation). For this, you need to acquire 80G certificate from Income Tax Department. Getting 80G and advertising that you have this certificate does encourage donors because they get tax benefit on donation.
- Usually lawyers and practicing CAs can help you in registration of society –but I guess a lawyer is better person if you need help in formulating your MOA and RR. CAs don’t know the nitty-gritty of the legal stuff.
- If you can write MOA and RR on your own –and sure that you have done a good job –then all you need is help of a notary who will take your papers and prepare them for the presentation before the registrar.
- After registration, for acquiring 12A and 80G certificates you may need to take services of a practicing CA. They charge hefty fee for these services.
- NGOs are for social work. You are not expected to draw any benefits from NGO.
If you need more information regarding the process of registration of society NGOs in India, you may comment on this article. I will see if I can help you with more information. I hope this article was useful for you. Thank you for using TechWelkin.
Hi sir,
I want to get my college society “Enactus IGDTUW” registered. Will it come under this category. Enactus, known as Students In Free Enterprise, is an international non-profit organization dedicated to enabling progress through entrepreneurial action.
We help underpriviledged people establish their business.
Please help.
Hi Lalit,
We have an NGO registered in Nagaland. We want to change the President of the Society as he is not in a position to continue( move out of the State). I understand that through a Resolution of a General Body meeting, we can change. But do we need to inform/intimate the change to the concern department of the State Government, IT Office and Home Ministry as we have 12A, 80G and also FCRA .
Kindly let us know at the earliest.
Thank You for all the valuable informations
I think you only need to inform the Registrar of Societies of your area (where you registered your society). You should go there and if there are any more authorities to be informed, they will tell you.
Hello, can a foreigner become a member of an Indian Trust?
See here https://techwelkin.com/can-nri-become-trustee-in-india
Hello everyone..
I am from Kashmir. It’s my aim to become a social worker. I truly have sympathy with needy people. I have been working as a volunteer for a reputed NGO for last 6 months but unfortunately I realize that higher authorities of the organization are not honest to people as well as to their organization, so I quit.
Now I want to work for other organizations which are honest and dedicated. I can spend my all time for social cause and I am not alone to do this so but I have my group of 10 youths. We all want to contribute our time for society. We need some organizations which can make good use of our time and dedication if any one requires human resource please contact me. 91 90 86 60 39 04
Can a government employer will be a part of any society?
Hi Pankaj, we have published an article about whether a govt. employee can become a trustee. Read it.
You are doing a great job bro
By clearing out the confusion of the society administrators,and guiding them for whole process
Hats off Sir
Keep it up
hello Lalit ji
your info on this website is so clear and fruitful…congratulations for such a helpful site
well I want to register a trust on welfare of tortoise conservation.kindly guide

anshul
Hi Lalit, we are running a society named anti crime anti corruption cell it was registered in 2012 with the help of a lawyer.we wanted to function all over India and in MOA operational area is mentioned “INDIA”but we did not have 5 members from different states. i want to know whether we are cheated by lawyer because we had paid him the fees and if we cant work all over India how can we amend it and where it will be sent to get national level certification
Rules say that a “local” society can not work outside the state of registration. But I don’t see any practical implications of it. If you work outside the state, there should not be any practical problem in it. However, you may not be able to apply for grants from the governments of states where you’re not registered.
Last September, we have registered a trust. In the deed the author forgot to mention his name in the list of trustees and there is no such clause in the deed where in it is mentioned that the author is also the trustee. So. I want to know if the author still is a trustee or shall we have to amend?
Well, technically the author is not a trustee and you should make amendments if you want to make the trust deed author a trustee. However, I would also suggest that you show the trust deed to an experienced lawyer. Not mentioning such an important thing in the trust deed may be taken as an indication that the trust deed is not well-drafted. There could be other problems also with the trust deed.
Thank you for your suggestion. And yes, you are right. There are some more flaws in the trust deed.
Hi Lalit sir,
I Would like to know if an NGO can sell products of other brands to raise funds? Like selling at retail price while purchasing at wholesale price?
Is there any other way of selling things to earn profit for NGO? It is difficult to ask for donation again and again as there are so many competitors in NGO, Why would anyone donate or take interest?
Hi Mayank, getting funds for NGO is probably the most difficult task for those who are running such organizations. But I guess that if you do excellent quality social work, you will find supporters who will give you funds. Keep trying.
An NGO can do business and income up to Rs. 10 lakhs is exempted from income tax. But I am not really sure if you can do an unrelated business under the banner of an NGO. You should consult a lawyer about it.
What is the min• & max. Strength of managing committee ( governing body ) in a society under society registration act 1860.
As I have mentioned in the article, minimum seven members are required to be in the Governing Body. There is no upper limit, so there can be any number of members.
My friend is going to open NGO. He is asking me to be a member of this NGO. To be a member in his NGO, do I have to invest any money in that?
If the NGO has placed a membership fee, you will have to pay that fee to become a member.
Sir, can a registered society working in public interest file a writ petition on behalf of the aggrieved?
Yes, an NGO can file a petition in the court.
Hi Lalit Sir, we are a group of 3 who are in the process of establishing an NGO in Kolkata. We are facing a crisis with respect to minimum number of members required. Is there an exception? Can’t we 3 only start an NGO?
Sneha, you can register a public charitable trust with 3 members. Trust is also a form of an NGO. The other form, i.e. society, requires minimum 7 members.
Hello sir,
Actually I just register my trust with total of two trustee. I want to know minimum how many post a trust have, if it is more than two shall I form a board of directors/advisers and among them I can assign some particular post to the member.
There is no minimum number of posts in a trust.
Hi
We already have a trust registered in which 1 chairman and 3 trustees are there. All are above 65years.
We like to function as an NGO but wish to add more active people young people for this NGO work. How to go about it?
You can add more people as volunteers or may be you can create an advisory committee and appoint deserving younger people as advisers.
Respected Sir,
I wish to know whether we could form and amend the constitution of our NGO, assigning more powers to the president than the secretary?
can a secretary be a founder Secretary?
Also, can president and founder president be same or different?
As long as your governing body and the Registrar of Societies agrees to such changes you can make changes. Usually there is nothing like a Founder Secretary or Founder President. Societies are governed by collective decisions made by the governing body. It is a democratic setup and no position is secure forever. The governing body can remove anyone by majority vote.
We have a society registered under societies registration act in 2008. When shall we apply for the renewal of organization?
You don’t need to renew the Society as such. But if you have 12a and 80g certificates issued in 2008, then you may need to get the certificates renewed from the Income Tax department.
Lalitji,
If there is no 12A certificate, how much money can be received in society’s bank account in one year without tax? Kindly help.
If you do not have 12A exemption certificate, I guess all the money you receive would be taxable.
Hi Mr. Lalit,
Greetings of the Day!
I need some help with Trust Registration. Can I register a trust when I don’t own any property and my objectives will be towards environment, plantation etc. I’ve been reading your blog and I’m under an impression now that trusts etc. are meant for education related functions specifically.
I want to register an entity where I & my friends can work towards environment, trees, plantation, greenery, Cleanliness etc.
Would appreciate your help!
Hi Rishabh, a trust can have any good social cause as its objective. So, you can register a trust for environment and plantation work as well. You also don’t need to own a property. Just rent a property and get no objection certificate from the owner.
Dear Lalit ji,
How can we start International NGO for the promotion of social cause, education or sports in India with a registration process in New Delhi.
You can start an NGO at national level. For opening international branches of your NGO, I guess you’ll have to get these branches registered in respective countries as per the rules of those countries.
members of the governing body should not be related each other ok does the the same yard stick applies to among members who are not connected with the governing body?
No, only the members of governing body should not be closely related.
Hi Lalit ji,
We are group of Filipino wives married to Indian Nationals in Delhi /NCR. Our group is recognized in our Local Embassy. We wanted to register our group as a NGO “Society”. Can you help us and explain further what else we can do? Most of us are Housewives and not working. Are we able to proceed?
Hi Queyl, any group of people with a common social cause can create a society. But you need to be Indian nationals. So, if you have gotten the Indian nationality, then all you need is a purpose as to what you would want to do through your society.
Dear Lalit sir, please tell me that there are any special qualification required for start a awareness society about HIV or hepatitis
I don’t think so. But you should consult a senior doctor for confirmation.
can we register NGO name same as the village / town name
You can have a village / town’s name as part of the NGOs name. There should not be any problem.
You can have a village/town’s name as part of the NGO’s name. There should not be at all any problem
Thanks, my question is what are the names of the posts in governing body.
There is no guidelines as to what should the post names. But usually, there are President, Vice-President, Secretary, Joint-Secretary and Treasurer.
Dear Sir. My NGO registered on 27.11.2001. What would be the expiry date of NGO.As this is the requirement of filling the form from social justice department of India. Second question is can my husband in included in managing body.
I don’t think NGOs “expire” as such. May be what they are asking you to fill is the expiry date of your 12a and 80g exemption certificates. These dates would be mentioned on your certificates. In societies, close relations like husband are not allowed to be member of the governing body.
Hi Lalit,
Currently am running a partnership firm. Its a security guard agency. Can I make a partnership firm in to a society? Can I change my security agency into a society? Kindly reply ASAP.
NGOs are for social non-profit work. Assuming that this security guard agency is your for-profit business, you should not convert it into an NGO. And in any case such conversion is not possible.
I am Vinit Goyal and working as a company secretary in a company. I want to become the part of any NGO for social welfare i.e. education and training etc.

Can a person be in governing body of two societies with different objectives ?
or
Can two societies, with different objectives, be registered in the name of single person ?
Thanks
Answer to both the questions is “yes”.
Hi Sir, I am Naren. I am twenty years old and I have a desire of opening an NGO in my locality. Your information is very useful for me Sir. Thank you.
I am an Indian and I want to register a Trust with a friend who is a British. We want to register in India. Is it possible?
A foreign national can not be a trustee. Please refer to my article on whether an NRI can be a trustee.
Is there an age restriction for employment in an NGO? Put another way does a person employed by an NGO HAVE to retire, by law, at a certain age? Or can an individual NGO specify its own retirement rules?
Hi Murray, it is an interesting question. But unfortunately, I don’t have a concrete answer for this. However, as for my guess, there is no age or retirement limit for employment in an NGO unless it is mentioned in the constitution of the NGO. I hope that some other reader who has a better idea about it —will comment and enlighten us.
Hi Lalit,
I have two questions.
Firstly, can NGO be run without registering under Societies Act? If yes, what disadvantages are there for not getting registered? If no, why?
Secondly, how many years make one term for governing body before the next election?
Thank You.
If you don’t register your NGO, you will not get 80g certificate and thus your donors will not get tax benefit on donations they give to you NGO. This may discourage donors. You will also not get 12a certificate —which means that you will have to pay income tax on all the donation that you will gather for your NGO. I guess governing body elections must take place at least once in every five years.
Hi Sir,
Your invaluable information on the subject NGO is commendable.
I have been running a private school for the last 2 years in a rural area. There has been a good response from the people around. I am more interested in teaching at the primary level. I have invested a lot my time, energy, knowledge and yes money of course. However, to have more investment, I strongly feel a good funding is very much require. So, I am seriously planning to start an NGO to help me in this mission to be achieved fully. I would like to know how can this dream be achieved.
Truly and humbly speaking… no intention for any profit.
Please advise.
Moyon
Hello Moyon, registering an NGO is a good idea. You will then be able to take donations from people who would want to help in your cause.
for a Registered Society, can the date of incorporation and date of registration be different?
For a “Registered” society, the date of incorporation is the date of registration. And in any case, for all practical purposes, it is the date of registration that is taken into account.
Sir, I want to open and NGO in Rajasthan.
My question is if it is necessary to have an SC / ST / Women / OBC among the members?
No, there is no such need.
Hello Respected
We have one federation, All India Taekwondo Federation register in 1985 in Delhi Society Act. But not renewal from last many years , and now we need to change complete management and start again so we need register again or older one is ok or it can renew. And now what’s the fee for registration.
Thank & Warm Regards
Bhumi
Well, if you want to change just about everything in your organization, it is better to create a new Society.
It is a very informative article presented by you. Just a small clarification needed on point 11 i.e Related people belonging to the same family cannot be a part of governing body. Same family means immediate family ‘or’ any family person related to you in any manner like son-in-law, daughter-in-law’s cousin brother etc??
Your clarification in this matter will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hi Sam! ideally there should not be any family relation among people. However, I think, technically only blood relatives are forbidden from being in the governing body. See, the logic is that the voting process in governing body must not be influenced. If there are people from the same family (blood relatives or otherwise) then this group of relatives might wield greater power as they may support each other. You may include family members who are not blood relatives and see how the registrar views it. It all depends on the registrar.
Sir,
We have learnt many things from here.Thank you very much for giving us so much information about NGO. I have a query.
I am a Govt sponsored School Teacher. We want to form a NGO to aware people about Tuberculosis and other health issues. So can we form such type of NGO?
and if yes then should I have to get permission from Headmaster or District Inspector of Schools’?
Please reply me as I am so much confused to form the NGO for this reason.
You don’t need to take permission but there is no harm in informing the authorities and take their views on how to promote awareness through an NGO.
Dear Sir,
We want to start a society with the word International in the name. Is it possible? What needs to be done.
Yes, it is possible. You don’t need to do anything specific to include the word “international” in your NGOs name.
Hello Mr. Lalit
Can you explain me the procedure to withdraw my name from a NGO. Due to personal reason i am unable to continue the post of Secretary which I was holding last 10 years. Do we need to submit any form, pass resolution and where to apply for withdrawal and what needs to be done?
Thanks in advance
Sukanyaramesh
Just call the meeting of Board of Trustees or Governing Body… pass a resolution for your removal. That’s it.
I want to register a society. But the name is already in use in Rajasthan. I want to register in Maharashtra. Is it allowed to register an NGO with same name but in different states? Please help.
It is better you choose a different name. You should avoid such conflicts.
Dear sir.
We have formed a society and the problem is with the structure of society. What is the defined structure and secondly, if we want to remove any member of governing body for this we have to pass resolution and take his sign on that resolution or just remove him by resolution?
Thirdly if want to enter into any agreement with any person in the interest of society can we do that on 50-50% sharing basis .
There is not pre-defined structure of a a society NGO. But usually, you will find people from governing body be designated as president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer etc. An NGO registered as a society works democratically, you can do things only with majority of governing body supporting the resolution.
Hi,
The NGO that I work with is in process of making a parent support group and wants to register it as a ‘society’. The NGO wants to be involved in the activities of the group and hence they are stressing on registering it as a society. Can you provide some information with regards to the registration process in this case?
Also, is it mandatory for my NGO to be registered under National Trust Act first before registering this group as a society or there is no such compulsory clause?
Any help on this topic would be really great for us!
Thank you.
Regards,
Amit
Hi Amit, there is nothing like a “National Trust Act”. Societies are registered under “Societies Registration Act, 1860”. You can register the parent support group as a society, the process is same as I described above in this article.
I want to know about registration for state level (Rajasthan). Is it registered under Indian Societies Act 1860 or Rajasthan state have another rule for that.
All the societies are registered under “Societies Registration Act, 1860” in India.
The post of vice president is mandatory in society act or we can exempt this post. Only mention the president, secretary, treasurer and four other members.
Please reply.
You can omit such a post.
I am married, i want to start an NGO, can my mother involve as a member of this society? is there any legal problems?
Please the read article. You will find the answer!
Mr. Lalit Kumar,
Myself and few others are inclined to Register a Public Trust in Mumbai for imparting educations at various level right from Jr. K.G. The name of the Trust, we intent to have would be in the name of prominent Public legend/personality like Mahatma Gandhi.
1) Whether this Trust is also required to be Registered under the Societies Act, 1880
2) How can we use the name of Public legend/Prominent personality, is it necessary to have permission. If yes, kindly specify the manner or draft format for permission.
Your guidance in this regard is humbly solicited please oblige.
Thanks,
ganesan
You don’t need to register a trust under societies act. As for using name of Mahatma Gandhi as part of the trust name —I am not really sure about it. Please go to the registrar and see what s/he says. All the best.
Hello sir
I am planning to start an NGO in Chhattisgarh. Do all the members have to present at the time of trust formation? How much money is required to get registration?
thank and regards
Narender
Only Settlor and two witnesses are required to be present while registering a trust. Cost is about Rs. 1000 to Rs. 1500.
As we know that NGO are Non-Profit entities so how does the governing body or the employees are paid, if a person is devoting his full time in an NGO as a governing member of the society then how will he earn to live with dignity…..kindly guide on this.Regards
Hi Shamsheer, first of all, allow me to say that earning anything from the NGO should not be the “purpose” of any of the trustee or governing board member. However, a trustee can draw a “reasonable” compensation if s/he is providing a lot of time or skills to the NGO.
What are the legal provisions or rules which specify the procedure of registering an all India level Society ?
hi lalit
i want to register a society and have 3 questions
1.) is there any way i can assure that i wont be removed as a president
2.) currently we are 7 people but not from different states, so later whenwe expand, can we become a national society by adding more members?
3.) can an indian society work abroad?
As societies are run in a democratic way, you could be ousted from the governing body if other members turn against you by majority. Indian society can not work in other countries. There you need to register NGOs as per the laws of those countries.
Sir I am jasmeet
I really want to open my Ngo in which I will collect donation to various schools and colleges and donate it to orphanage homes
I am 17 year old
I live in Pune
Being 17 can I run my own ngo
No, you need to be 18 years old before you can open and run a charitable trust.
Hi Lalit,
Thank you so much for providing valuable information and I really appreciate.
At present, I am NRI, I intend to provide education at lower cost for rural people by forming up a society. I wantedto know if NRI can be part of governing body ( President or vice president) or trust.
Raj
Hi Raj, there is significant bit of confusion on whether an NRI can be a trustee. An NRI is outside the jurisdiction of Indian courts, that is the primary reason of concern. So, different people will give you different opinion. If I were you, I would simply keep all the legal jumble aside and focus on the real social work that I want to do. To be on the safer side, you may find some trusted people in India… make them the trustees… and you provide whatever assistance you can provide to the trust. Legal confusions must not halt a person’s desire to do something good for the society.
we applied in Delhi for an all India levl society .
1. WE have been refused use of word foundation in name e. Is that legal?
2.How many founding members and from how many states are exactly needed for National level society
As far as I know, "Foundation" is a valid word as part of the name of an NGO. There are so many NGOs out there that use this word in their name. You should ask the registrar to point the specific rule that prohibits use of this word. For the answer to your second question, please see the difference between a Trust and a Society NGO.
H lalit
I want to register a society with the name XYZ foundation, but when i meet the registrar , he said foundation word is not applicable.
Is it right?
If , yes please suggest , what would be the best suited name?
There should not be any objection on the word "Foundation" as part of the name of an NGO. Lots of NGOs have this word in their names.
I’ve two questions first is if i want to register a society in national level then is it necessary to five members are from five different states.
Second one is if my ngo registered then from where we can raise fund
Yes, you would need five members from five different states.

Hi Lalit,
Thank you so much for the information! I am left with the below mentioned queries now!! Please guide!
1. Who all can be the part of governing body? Can govt. employees working with Public Sector banks or any other govt employee be one of the seven members of governing body?
2. If one person wishes to open an ngo, then how is that person remunerated? In case, where the governing member is also an active worker of the Ngo.
Regards
Apoorva
Hi Apoorva,
Government employees are allowed to be trustees and governing body members but they MUST NOT draw any benefit from such association. Also, the objectives or the organization must not be in conflict with the stand of government. For example, a government employee would be in trouble if he joins an NGO to protest against government’s policies. As for remuneration, well, NGOs are for social work and not for drawing benefits from it. Nevertheless, trustees are allowed to take reasonable remuneration from the trust funds.
Hi Lalit,
I had a question from the 12th point : “Members of the Governing Body can not draw any remuneration from the society funds.”
So how they receive wage/salary for the service. Eg : Old Age home, members working for it.
Regards
Prakash
Prakash, Governing Body members don’t receive wages/salaries. The staff hired for managing old age homes do get wages because they are employees. Governing Body members are not employees. They do their work as a charity, as a volunteer.
Respected Sir,

Dear sir/madam.
Your articles are of great knowledge thanks for sharing it to us.
I have a query,
How to find, a society or ngo is officially registered and not fake,becouse now a days so many societies and ngo are running small business and in this way they cheat the innocent public.
Hi,
There is no particular method to check reliability of a NGO.
We have many objectives and want to work in different fields, as our group involves expertise from different fields. e.g Doctors, Civil engineers, IT professionals, Professors. How do we go to define objectives.?
No body will restrict to area of working, You can register the society with multiple objects
Society is liable to reply under RTI Act 2005 or not ?
there is one WRONG info above. NOT 5, but we need at least 7 people from 7 different states, to register a National level society. And I think this sort of National society can be registered only from Delhi…
Shanti, do you have any idea in Delhi from where we can register a national society.
can a minor form a trust??….if yes, where to go after drafting the MOA and RR…plzzz reply fast its urgent!!!
no minor cannot become a trustee
you need to go to the registrar of societies office and collect information about required documents for registration. after you finally decide your members and moa . moa and other documents. a minor cannot run a trust but with the help of legal guardian or parent he can form a trust and after attaining majority he can become a trustee.
There are provisions in the law for minor to form the trust. So minor can form the trust by satisfying few conditions.
As we know that NGO are Non-Profit entities so how does the governing body or the employees are paid, if a person is devoting his full time in an NGO as a governing member of the society then how will he earn to live with dignity…..kindly guide on this.
