Establish and Maintain Your Non-Profit's Integrity
Navigating the complex landscape of non-profit organization (NPO) registration and ongoing compliance in Pakistan can be challenging. Javid Law Associates offers comprehensive services to ensure your NPO is legally established and operates in full adherence to all relevant regulations, fostering trust and enabling your mission.
Understanding NPO Regulations in Pakistan
In Pakistan, Non-Profit Organizations are primarily regulated under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, and the Trusts Act, 1882, depending on their structure. Registration with provincial governments or the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) for certain NPO types is crucial. Furthermore, obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the relevant ministry and subsequent registration with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for tax exemptions are vital steps. Ongoing compliance includes annual audits, submission of financial statements, and adherence to donor regulations and reporting requirements.
