What is NGO / Section 8 Company Registration?

NGO Registration in India can be done as a Section 8 Company under Companies Act 2013, a Charitable Trust under the Indian Trusts Act 1882, or a Society under the Societies Registration Act 1860. Section 8 Company is the most preferred structure as it has better credibility, corporate governance, and is eligible for all government grants, CSR funds, FCRA approval, and 80G/12A tax exemptions for donors.
