Hey buddy to open an office and employ people, the NGO should be registered under the Shop and Establishment Act.

To employ foreign staff, an Indian non-profit needs to be registered as a trust/society/company, have FCRA registration and also obtain a No Objection Certificate.

The intended employee also needs a work visa.

India non profit organisations/ public charitable organisations (NGO) can be registered as trusts, societies, or a private limited non profit company, under section-25 companies.

The application for registration should be made to the official having jurisdiction over the region in which the trust is sought to be registered.


The application form should contain the following details:
