NGO Registration Process in India: A Step-by-Step Guide
Introduction:
Registering a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in India is a crucial step towards making a positive impact on society. This process involves several legal formalities and paperwork. In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of registering an NGO in India.
Step 1: Define Your Mission and Objectives:
Clearly outline the mission and objectives of your NGO. This will not only help during the registration process but also serve as a guiding principle for your organization.
Step 2: Choose the Type of NGO:
Decide on the type of NGO you want to establish. In India, common types include Trusts, Societies, and Section 8 Companies. Each type has its own set of regulations and benefits.
Step 3: Name Your NGO:
Choose a unique and meaningful name for your NGO. Ensure it aligns with the objectives of your organization. Check for name availability and conformity with government guidelines.
Step 4: Prepare the Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Rules & Regulations:
For Trusts and Societies, create a Memorandum of Association and Rules & Regulations. For Section 8 Companies, prepare the Memorandum and Articles of Association. These documents outline the structure and functioning of your NGO.
Step 5: Appoint Members and Directors:
Select individuals who will serve as members or directors of the NGO. Ensure they share the vision and goals of the organization. Define their roles and responsibilities clearly.
Step 6: Obtain DSC and DIN:
Get Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) for the proposed directors and a Director Identification Number (DIN) from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs if forming a Section 8 Company.
Step 7: Apply for Name Approval:
Submit the proposed name along with required documents to the Registrar of Companies (RoC) for approval. This step is specific to Section 8 Companies.
Step 8: Draft and File Incorporation Documents:
Prepare the necessary documents, including MoA, AoA, and other required forms. Submit these documents to the appropriate authority based on the type of NGO.
Step 9: Obtain PAN and TAN:
Apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) from the Income Tax Department.
Step 10: Apply for 80G and 12A Certification:
If your NGO is focused on charitable activities, apply for 80G and 12A certifications to avail tax exemptions for donors.

Successfully registering an NGO in India involves careful planning, adherence to legal procedures, and dedication to your organization’s mission. Following these steps will set you on the path to making a positive impact on society through your NGO.
