Why is NGO registration important?

1. Registration gives your NGO a formal legal status, making it official and credible. This helps in building trust and legitimacy.

2. Being registered allows your NGO to receive funds from various sources, including government grants, private donations, and international support.

3. Registered NGOs can enjoy tax exemptions on their income and offer tax deductions to donors, which can boost your fundraising efforts.

4. Registration ensures that your NGO meets legal and regulatory requirements, promoting transparency and accountability.

5. Many government programs and grants require NGOs to be registered, providing additional resources for your projects.

6. Registration helps protect your NGO’s assets and operations, allowing you to sign contracts, open bank accounts, and take legal actions if needed.

7. A registered NGO is viewed as more reliable and serious, which can attract more support from donors, partners, and the community.

In essence, registering your NGO is essential for gaining credibility, accessing funding, and ensuring legal and financial stability as you work towards your goals.

Who can start an NGO?

Anyone interested in making a positive impact through social, educational, or charitable work can start an NGO. Generally, the following individuals or groups are eligible:

Citizens of India: Indian citizens who are committed to a cause and have a vision for social change can start an NGO.
Foreign Nationals: Foreigners can also start an NGO in India, but they need to comply with specific regulations and may require local partners or representatives.
Groups of Individuals: A group of individuals with a shared interest in a cause can come together to form an NGO. Typically, this includes a minimum of three members, but the exact number depends on the type of registration (e.g., a society requires at least seven members).
Existing Organizations: Existing organizations, including companies or trusts, can also establish an NGO if they wish to expand their activities into the non-profit sector.
