NGO Registration as a Trust
NGO Registration as a Trust is one of the most preferred legal structures for organizations established for charitable, educational, religious, medical, social welfare, and public benefit purposes. A Trust is generally registered under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 (for private trusts) and the applicable State Public Trust Acts (where applicable). It provides a legally recognized framework for managing charitable assets, receiving donations, and carrying out non-profit activities with greater credibility and transparency.
