What is an NGO?
An NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) is a non-profit voluntary group that works to promote social, cultural, educational, religious or economic causes. In India, NGOs operate independently of the government and can be structured as a Trust, Society or Section 8 Company.
Types of NGOs in India
1. Trust
Ideal for long-term charitable work like education, health or relief initiatives. Trusts are governed by the Indian Trusts Act (varies by state) and are often simpler to manage for smaller initiatives.
- Best for: Charitable work with simpler operations
- Minimum members: 2 trustees
2. Society
Popular for NGOs working in education, culture or community development. Societies are registered under the Societies Registration Act and require a governing body with regular meetings.
- Best for: Community-focused or multi-state initiatives
- Minimum members: 7 (from different states for national scope)
3. Section 8 Company
Structured under the Companies Act this format is suitable for NGOs seeking high credibility, CSR partnerships or international collaborations. It involves more compliance but offers better recognition.
- Best for: Large-scale NGOs, CSR or foreign-funded projects
- Minimum members: 2 directors
Documents to start your NGO
