There are basically 3 types of organizations that are present in the field of NGO sector. These three organizations are as follows:
1.) Trust
A public charitable trust is a possible form of not-for-profit entity in India. Typically, public charitable trusts can be established for a number of purposes, including the relief of poverty, education, medical relief, provision of facilities for recreation, and any other object of general public utility. Indian public trusts are generally irrevocable. No national law governs public charitable trusts in India, although many states (particularly Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh) have Public Trusts Acts. Trust is registered underĀ Indian Trust Act, 1882.
2.) Society
Societies are membership organizations that may be registered for charitable purposes. Societies are usually managed by a governing council or a managing committee. Societies are governed by the society registration Act 1860, which has been adopted by various states. Unlike trusts, societies may be dissolved. A Society is registered under Indian Society Act, 1860.
3.) Section 25 Companies ACT
A section 25 company is a company with limited liability that may be formed for “promoting commerce, art, science, religion, charity or any other useful object”, provided that no profits, if any, or other income derived by promoting the company’s objects may be distributed in any form to its members.
