NGO Services

Legal Support for Non-Governmental Organizations

At our law firm, we provide comprehensive legal services for NGOs, helping them operate efficiently, legally, and transparently. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play a vital role in society, working in areas such as education, healthcare, environment, women and child welfare, poverty alleviation, and humanitarian aid.

Our NGO services are designed to assist individuals, charitable groups, and social enterprises in registration, compliance, governance, and advisory, ensuring that they meet all legal requirements and can focus on their mission without legal obstacles.

Who Needs NGO Legal Services

1. Newly Formed Charitable Organizations

NGOs just starting out require professional guidance to register legally, draft governing documents, and set up financial and operational structures.

2. Existing NGOs Seeking Compliance

Registered NGOs must comply with Income Tax, FCRA, GST, and other regulatory laws. We help maintain proper records, file necessary returns, and ensure full compliance.

3. International NGOs and Social Enterprises

Organizations receiving foreign funding must comply with FCRA regulations. We provide expert advisory for legal approvals, fund management, and reporting requirements.

4. Foundations, Trusts, and Societies

Trusts and societies functioning for charitable purposes require legal assistance in drafting deeds, MOA/AOA, bylaws, and partnership agreements to ensure smooth operation.

Our NGO Services Include

1. NGO Registration​:

We assist clients in registering their organizations under the appropriate legal structure, including Section 8 Companies, Societies, and Trusts under Indian law. Our services cover drafting all necessary documents, submitting applications, obtaining approvals from relevant authorities, and ensuring full compliance with statutory requirements. With our support, your NGO will have a legally recognized foundation to operate effectively and transparently.

2. Tax Exemption & Compliance:

Navigating tax regulations is critical for NGOs to function smoothly and attract funding. We provide expert guidance for Income Tax exemptions under Sections 12A and 80G, as well as FCRA registration for receiving foreign contributions. Our team ensures that your NGO is fully compliant with all legal requirements, enabling you to receive donations, grants, and foreign funding without legal obstacles while maximizing tax benefits.

3. Governance & Legal Documentation:

Proper governance is essential for transparency and accountability in an NGO. We draft and review trust deeds, Memorandum of Association (MOA), Articles of Association (AOA), bylaws, partnership agreements, and volunteer/employment contracts. This ensures that your organization has clear rules, roles, and responsibilities defined, safeguarding the NGO from potential disputes or operational challenges.

4. Fundraising & Contracts:

Effective fundraising and partnership agreements are the lifeblood of an NGO. We provide legal support for drafting and reviewing Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), grant agreements, donor contracts, sponsorship deals, and collaboration agreements. Our services ensure that all arrangements are legally binding, enforceable, and aligned with regulatory norms, protecting your NGO’s interests and enabling smooth operations.
