What is Charity Commission Registration?

Charity Commission Registration is a legal process that enables organizations involved in charitable activities to operate in a regulated and transparent manner. This registration is necessary to ensure that the charity meets all legal requirements under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 or Societies Registration Act, 1860 or Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 (for non-profit companies).

Once registered with the Charity Commission, the organization is eligible for tax exemptions, government grants, and public donations. It also assures transparency, accountability, and proper governance.

   Being registered makes it easier to access government or international funding and grants for charitable projects.

4. Credibility and Trust:
   Registration enhances the credibility of the organization, building trust among donors, volunteers, and the community.

   With proper registration, the charity operates within the scope of laws that protect the interests of donors, beneficiaries, and volunteers.

   Registered charities are required to maintain records and comply with regulations, which ensures proper use of funds and prevents misuse or fraud.
