What we handle

Which structure suits you?

A Section 42 company offers the strongest governance and credibility for organisations seeking grants and institutional donations, while a trust or society can be simpler for smaller or community initiatives. In a free consultation we match the structure to your goals.

How the process works

  1. Free consultation — we recommend the right structure.
  2. Drafting — constitution, memorandum or trust deed.
  3. Registration — SECP or the relevant authority, plus NTN.
  4. Tax exemption — we file your NPO approval and keep you compliant.

Frequently asked questions

What are the ways to register a non-profit in Pakistan?

Common options are a Section 42 not-for-profit company with SECP, a trust set up through a registered trust deed, or a society under the Societies Registration Act. The best route depends on your objects, scale and funding.

What is a Section 42 company?

A Section 42 company is a not-for-profit company licensed by SECP for charitable, social, educational or similar objects. It offers strong credibility and governance for organisations seeking grants or donations.

Can my NGO get tax exemption?

Yes. Approved non-profit organisations can obtain NPO status and tax approval from the FBR under the Income Tax Ordinance. We prepare and file the application and supporting documents for you.

What documents are needed to register a non-profit?

Typically the constitution, memorandum or trust deed, details and CNICs of the members or trustees, the objects of the organisation, and a registered office address. We draft and assemble these.

Which structure should I choose for my organisation?

A Section 42 company suits organisations seeking donor credibility and formal governance; a trust or society can be simpler for smaller or community-based work. We advise based on your goals in a free consultation.

Can you handle registration and ongoing compliance?

Yes. We handle formation, NTN, the tax-exemption application and the ongoing filing and compliance that keeps your non-profit in good standing.
