Legal Recognition. Structured Compliance. Transparent Process.
Register your NGO, Trust, or Society with proper legal backing and compliance support. At PROBAY, we provide end-to-end registration and advisory services to help you establish a legally recognised non-profit organisation in India.
Starting a non-profit organization is a powerful way to contribute to social welfare and community development. In India, charitable organizations can be registered as a Trust, Society, or Section 8 Company, depending on their objectives, governance preferences, and operational scale.
Trust: A Trust is formed when a settlor transfers property or assets to trustees for the benefit of the public or a specific group. Governed primarily by the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 (and relevant state laws), it is ideal for family-run charities or organizations managed by a small group.
Society: A Society is a membership-based organization established for promoting charitable, educational, cultural, scientific, or social objectives. Registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, it is best suited for groups working collectively towards a common cause.
Section 8 Company: A Section 8 Company is a structured non-profit entity incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 to promote commerce, art, education, research, social welfare, religion, charity, or environmental protection. It offers higher credibility, stronger governance, and is often preferred by donors and institutions.
Formal registration enhances transparency, builds donor confidence, and enables access to funding opportunities.
