What are the Types of NGO Registration in India?

There are three types of NGOs widely registered in India.

Trust

Trust registration refers to the process of legally establishing a trust in India. A trust is a form of non-profit organisation (NPO) that is created to provide assistance and support to specific causes, such as education, health care, and community development. The trust registration process is governed by the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, and is typically handled by a team of legal experts and professionals.

Society

Society registration refers to the process of forming a society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. A society is a group of individuals who come together to achieve a common goal or objective. Societies are formed to promote charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, or social causes.

Section 8 Company

Section 8 Company is a type of non-profit organisation that is registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013. It is registered with the sole purpose of promoting commerce, art, science, religion, charity or any other useful object, and not for the purpose of making a profit. This type of company is also known as a Non-Profit Organisation or Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).

    The Income Tax Department grants an 80G Certificate to a non-profit organisation. Section 80G of the Income Tax Act provides tax benefits to donors who contribute to specified funds, charities, or institutions.
    Donors making contributions to trusts, institutions, or funds approved under Section 80G can claim deductions on their taxable income. This encourages philanthropy and charitable giving. Donors can claim either a 100% or 50% deduction, depending on the nature of the recipient entity.
    Section 12A facilitates the tax-exempt status of charitable or religious trusts, while Section 80G encourages donations to such entities by providing tax benefits to donors. Both sections play integral roles in promoting and sustaining philanthropic activities in India.

    NGO Darpan is as an online platform developed by NITI Aayog. Its inception dates back to 2015 when the Indian Government introduced this initiative. This digital portal functions as a centralized national database dedicated to cataloging NGOs and voluntary organizations in India. Each NGO operating in the country is required to undergo registration on this portal, providing self-declared information encompassing their activities, projects, and sources of income. The main objective behind creation of the Darpan Portal is to facilitate NGOs in receiving Government grants and funding easily using their Unique Darpan registration ID. The information curated on this platform is made publicly accessible, enabling the government and other stakeholders to gain insights into the functioning and impact of registered NGOs.

    CSR-1 Registration

    CSR stands for Corporate Social Responsibility, and it is a concept that is increasingly being adopted by businesses around the world. CSR is all about businesses taking responsibility for their impact on society and the environment, and taking action to improve things.
    As per CSR Rules every company with a net worth of ₹500 crore or more, or turnover of ₹1,000 crore or more are required to spend 2% of their average net profits from the previous three financial years on CSR activities.
    If you are an NGO that works on social or environmental projects, then you may be able to receive funding from companies that are required to spend money on CSR activities. This can be a great way to get additional funding for your work.
