Navigating NGO Registration: Society, Trust, and Section 8 Company with Third Eyed Consulting Services
Starting a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) is a noble endeavor aimed at addressing various social, cultural, economic, and environmental issues. However, the process of registering an NGO can be complex, with different legal structures such as Society, Trust, and Section 8 Company. Third Eyed Consulting Services offers comprehensive assistance in navigating these registration processes, ensuring your NGO is set up correctly and efficiently.
Understanding the Types of NGOs
Before diving into the registration services offered by Third Eyed Consulting, it’s essential to understand the different types of NGOs in India:
1. Society
A Society is a group of individuals who come together for a common charitable purpose. It is governed by the Societies Registration Act, 1860. Societies are suitable for those aiming to promote literature, science, fine arts, or the diffusion of useful knowledge.
2. Trust
A Trust is formed when a settlor (person who creates the trust) transfers property to trustees for the benefit of beneficiaries. Trusts in India are governed by the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. They are commonly used for charitable activities such as education, healthcare, and poverty relief.
3. Section 8 Company
A Section 8 Company is a company registered under the Companies Act, 2013, for promoting commerce, arts, science, sports, education, research, social welfare, religion, charity, protection of the environment, or any such other object. Unlike other companies, a Section 8 Company cannot distribute profits to its members.
