Country Report 2018: India

Abstract

Two or more individuals may form a trust or a nonprofit company, while seven or more members may form a society. Broadly speaking, a PO may be set up to provide services related to relief of poverty, education, medical relief, environment, preserving national monuments or any other object of general public utility. The registration process is somewhat demanding, requiring moderate time and resources. However, the governing body is consistent and apolitical; their activities are somewhat transparent, as they provide data and information to the public via their websites. There is, however, no requirement for them to do so.
