In how much time a NGO is registered in Pakistan?

There are different kinds of NGOs registered in Pakistan. The main difference is in their registration procedure and costs. They are different because different institutions govern them and they are registered under different acts. Some of the commonly registered NGO's include the following:-

- Trust is registered under The Trusts Act, 1882.
- Volunteer Social Welfare Organization (Non Profit Organization) is registered under the Volunteer Social Welfare Act (VSWA), 1961.
- Society is registered under The Societies Registration Act, 1860
- Foundation is Registered under The Companies Ordinance, 1984

The easiest to be registered is the Trust as it takes hardly 15 days time and cost involved in it is less. The hardest is the Foundation as it involves heavy fee and at least 66 working days time period.

We advice our start up customers to go for Trust and the bigger organizations to go for Foundation Registration.. For more write us at internationallawyerinfo@gmail.com
