Hi Mohit / Bhushan,
I was happy to see this request on the list but waited for people who are
already working in the NGO sector to respond. I am putting down some basic
information from my limited knowledge.
I would also suggest that a CA or advocate be consulted for detailed inputs
even if it is a paid consultation. There are several operational and
compliance related requirements that one has to take care of after getting
into this.
An NGO can be registered in one of the following three ways.
1. As a trust.
2. As a society.
3. As a non-profit company under section 25.
Here are the key points for each mode of registration.
For a trust:
1. At least two trustees are needed to register.
2. Registration can be done at local level in registrar's office, i.e.
tehsil. A trust deed needs to be drafted for it.
3. A trust once formed cannot be dissolved. If unoperational it can be
merged with another entity doing a similar work by the charity commissioner.
4. It is simplest from a compliance requirements point of view.
For a society:
1. At least seven members are needed to register a society.
2. It is registered at societies registration office at state level.
3. Generally societies have to define different office bearers and their
election has tobe done at the frequency defined in the constitution of the
society.
4. A constitution needs to be drafted for the society before its
registration.
For a non-profit company:
1. Memorandum and articles of association need to be drafted for its
registration.
2. Registration is done with the registrar of companies in your state.
3. At least two directors need to be identified to form a company. Directors
will need to obtain a DIN (director identification number).
4. This is governed by companies act and has several compliance related
requirements.
As far as drafting of deed / constitution / MoA is concerned it is standard
practice for many advocates or CS. You would just need to inform them about
specific activities or area of work that you have in mind.
I would also suggest that you have enough clarity about the key activities
that you would like to undertake and how the organization would sustain.
Give yourself some more time if you feel the need.
Following link can be a good starting point for you.
