An NGO or non-governmental organisation is a not-for-profit entity that typically does work for the welfare work for poorer sections of society or toward a particular cause. Their focus may be environmental, on human or animal rights, improving health and welfare of children, development work or even raising awareness about a particular cause or activity, such as art. That said, many NGOs may also be fronts for political or religious interests. Being not-for-profit, these entities cannot pay out any profits as dividends to members; instead, any profit must be reinvested toward the cause. NGOs raise money from donors, who may or may not receive tax breaks on their donations. In India, an NGO can be set up as a trust, section-8 company or a society.
After understanding your requirement, we will recommend the type of NGO that would suit you best. This will depend on the amount of money you wish to spend initially, the number of days you're willing to wait for the institution to be set up and the various features of a section-8 company, trust and society.
On making the choice, we will inform you of the documents you require for setting up each of these institutions. Once you provide them, we will begin drafting the procedure. This may involved the draftng of the trust deed (in case of a trust) or the registration of directors with the MCA (in case of a section-8 company).
As mentioned earlier, Registrars are very careful about which entities they approve. Therefore, it takes much time for a trust, society or section-8 company to be approved. We will, however, keep you up-to-date every step of the way.
o, new company registration is a fully online process. As all documents are filed electronically, you would not need to be physically present at all. You would need to send us scanned copies of all the required documents & forms.

The Registrar of Companies (RoC) across India expect applicant to follow a few naming guidelines. Some of them are subjective, which means that approval can depend on the opinion of the officer handling your application. However, the more closely you follow the rules listed below, the better your chances of approval. First, however, do ensure that your name is available.
Unique Component: In Flipkart Internet Private Limited, Flipkart is the unique component. Now, once taken, the name Flipkart will not be given to any other business within the suffix Internet or even related categories (E-commerce and Online Solutions, for example). But there is some subjectivity, too. Some RoCs may not even approve the name Flipkart Chemicals Private Limited, reasoning that the e-commerce brand Flipkart is too well-known. Similar sounding names would also be rejected (so no Flipkart).
Blacklist: Abbreviations, adjectives and generic words are rejected. So BBC or XYZ would be rejected, as would Good Quality Biscuits. The words bank, exchange and stock exchange, unless approved by RBI or SEBI, would also be rejected.
No Common Trademark: There should not be a registered trademark by the same name on the IP India website. If there is one, the name can only be approved if you are able to get a No-Objection Certificate from its owner authorising you to use it.
Descriptive Component: In Biocon Research Private Limited, the word 'Research' describes the business the company is into. You cannot have 'Research' in your name if you're, say, in the logistics or restaurant business.
All directors must provide identity and address proof, as well as a copy of the PAN Card (for Indian Nationals) and Passport (for foreign nationals). No-objection Certificate must be submitted by the owner of the registered office premises.
