Auditor Shiva's NGO Registration Services
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play a vital role in social welfare, education, environment, and community development. To operate legally and gain credibility, NGOs in India must be formally registered under one of the recognized legal frameworks. At Auditor Shiva, we provide end-to-end NGO registration services in Trichy, helping visionaries, philanthropists, and social entrepreneurs establish their NGO with compliance, accuracy, and speed.
What is an NGO?
An NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) is a non-profit entity formed for public benefit, social service, or charitable purposes. NGOs are legally recognized organizations that operate independently of government control but are governed by Indian laws for non-profits.
Key reasons to register your NGO:
- Obtain legal recognition and status
- Access grants, donations, and government funding
- Build credibility with donors, partners, and beneficiaries
- Ensure compliance with tax and regulatory laws

The Importance of NGO Registration
Registering your NGO is crucial for several reasons
Legal Recognition
Registration confers legal recognition upon an organization, allowing it to legally operate and also to access funds.
Transparency
Registration makes transparent all dealings of an organization including the finances that would be open to the public.
Credibility
A registered NGO is more likely taken seriously by donors, partners, and the public, thereby increasing the reputation of your organization.
