Why register an NGO in India?
BENEFITS
Ø The legal status of organizations makes sure they are accountable for all the funds and donations they collect.
Ø A registered NGO thinks works and develops in a systematic manner and functions accordingly. For example, when an individual donates resources to a charitable fund, it is received under the name of the organization and used for the benefit of others. In an unregistered firm, the asset can be received under anyone’s name and used for their own profit.
Ø A company that is registered as an NGO stays within the ethical, social and legal parameters of the society.
Ø The basic requirement for running a company is to have a bank account under its name. In order to open an account, it is mandatory to be registered as a non-profitable organization.
Ø The registration of an NGO will also help in tax exemption once they are registered under Income Tax Authorities.

TRUST
One possible way in which you can register a Non-Government Organisation is by registering it as a trust. This kind of method is used by NGOs who work with eradicating poverty, giving education and providing medical relief. You might want to note that trusts are irrevocable. This means that they cannot change or terminate without the permission of the court.
Although there is no central law that governs public trusts, many states have its own Public Trust Acts to look into the affairs of the public trust.
SOCIETIES
Societies can be referred to member-based organizations for charitable purposes. They are run by a governing body or a managing committee. Unlike trusts, all societies come under the preview of one law known as Societies Registration Act, 1860. Section 8 Companies
SECTION 8 COMPANIES
Section 8 Company has limited liability and cannot make any profits. It is generally formed for promoting science, art, commerce, charity, religion or any other purpose that is useful to society. When compared to Societies and Trusts, Section 8 Companies have more benefit in the sense that they have more legal standing and better credibility among government bodies and donors.
