Getting my ngo registered

I have a group of around 110 floating population that I have been running in Noida for around 10 months. 

Now I want to get it registered and start carrying out the work more actively as people have started joining us in a good magnitude and even companies have promised to help us if we get registered because that will help them with tax benefits. 

The NGO is about cleaning places and planting trees there so that people do not litter again.

The name is Lethal Gleans (Instagram) in case someone wants to have a look. 

Question - 

Under which act should I get it registered? Some were of the opinion that if you get it registered you will have to do it full time and you cannot do anything and you are under full-time scrutiny. Why is that if so?

What documents do I have to prepare? 

How much is the cost?

Who do I have to visit? Basically the practical procedure?

Just go to Registrar of societies and meet him, explain your field to him and the procedure is easy and simple.  Registrar can give competent guidance.

Thank you so much Sirius Group. 

How much time and money does this take? 

And is there any legal stipulation on how much one has to work as the founder of an NGO? 

And what if this year our accounts only have 40 to 50 k to show cumulatively in all accounts? Does one still have to file ITR and everything?

Starting an NGO requires more than just money. It requires hard work, determination, and a genuine desire to support others. To start and run an NGO is an almost similar process to run a company, but here you have to keep transparency. Moreover, here you have to work for the welfare of the society without expecting any profit.

 

Once all the documents are ready, and the required fee is submitted, you can get your NGO registered under any of these Acts-

  • Societies Registration Act (In society, minimum seven members are required to be the members),
  • Indian Trusts Act (In Charitable Trust at least two people are required, there is no limit of maximum members)
  • Companies Act (A non-profit Company can be registered under section 8 of the Companies Act with the Registrar of Companies.)

Thanks a lot, experts! 

I am up for hard work and everything and I am in love with environment conservation and related activities, but being a student, I can only devote my time on weekends. Do the authorities scrutinize NGOs on the basis of what amount of time are they devoting?
