The first step is to come up with the name for your NGO
• STEP2: List of members of the trust
You need to specify, who will be the settler, trustees (at least 2) and beneficiaries for your NGO.
• STEP3: Memorandum of Association (MoA)
You have to frame a Memorandum of Association (MoA) and trust deed which must include all the key provisions and clauses. Trust deed is executed on the stamp paper that should be of value in accordance with the laws prescribed by the government.
• STEP4: Submission of signed deed
All the trustees and settler has to sign the trust deed, and register it with the local registrar of the area, where the NGO will be functional.
What is the process of NGO registration in the form of society?

• STEP1: Naming the Society
The first step is to select the name for your NGO.
• STEP2: Formation of Governing Body
You need to decide upon the governing body of the proposed trust.
• STEP3: Memorandum of Association (MoA)
Then you are required to make the memorandum of Association and by-laws of the proposed society. It consists of all the rules and regulations in relation to the registration and operation of the Society.
• STEP4: Submitting Documents
At last, you just need to submit the MoA (Memorandum of Association), documents regarding the rules and regulations of an NGO, and other registration documents.
You have to submit all these documents with the registrar of the state, where the proposed NGO will be operating.

• STEP2: Naming the Section 8 Company
There is a RUN service available on the MCA portal, which you can use for the name approval of the NGO. You will be allowed to propose 2 names for the proposed Company.
• STEP3: SPICE form
This is the main step under which incorporation application is filed in SPICE form along with the necessary documents like MoA (Memorandum of Association), AoA (Article of Association) of the company. If the proposed directors of the company do not posses DIN then they can directly apply for DIN (Director Identification Number) through SPICE form.
