NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) registration in India allows social, charitable, religious, and educational organizations to operate legally and receive funding, grants, and donations.
NGO Registration is the legal process through which a Non-Governmental Organization is formally recognized by the government to carry out charitable, social, educational, religious, or welfare activities. Registering an NGO provides legal status, credibility, and eligibility for funding, tax benefits, and government grants.
