Re: How To Open An NGO
As you want to open a Non Governmental Organization (NGO), I am providing you with the steps to open it Lay down the issues that your NGO wants to address, and identify the mission and vision. Before registering the organization, you need to have a governing body in place, that will be responsible for all activities and decisions of the organization. The governing body will be involved in all matters of strategic relevance, including strategic planning, financial management, human resources and networking. Every NGO in India is legally required to document a trust deed/ Memorandum of Understanding/ Bylaws that contain the name and address of the NGO, mission and objectives, details of governing body members, human resource and staffing information, rules and regulations, administrative laws and procedures. In India, you may register an NGO under any of the following Acts: Indian Trusts Act: A Charitable Trust is not legally obliged to obtain registration; unless the Trust wants to claim income tax exemptions or is based in a state that is governed by the Public Trusts Act, such as Maharashtra. Societies Registration Act: A society can be formed by a group of seven or more people. Its formation is more complicated than that of a trust, but it also affords more flexibility in terms of regulations. Companies Act: An association that is formed for the promotion of art, science, commerce, religion or charity can be registered as a company but its members cannot be paid a dividend. All profits should be utilized for furthering the objectives of the company. |
