I. NGO Registration Services with ZIBSCO

 

Welcome to ZIBSCO! We understand that the legal framework governing NGOs differs significantly from for-profit organizations. Specific laws and regulations dictate the registration and operations of NGOs in Pakistan. These include:

 

  • The Societies Registration Act, 1860
  • The Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies (Registration & Control) Ordinance, 1961
  • The Companies Ordinance, 1984 (section 42)
  • The Trust Act, 1882, providing a comprehensive framework for private trusts

 

At ZIBSCO, we meticulously evaluate the objectives and plans of your NGO. We then guide you through the relevant acts or ordinances necessary for successful registration. We are fully equipped to facilitate operations and activities within Pakistan.

 

Key Departments Involved

The government of Pakistan plays a pivotal role in shaping policies that govern the federal system. This includes determining the extent of power allocated to NGOs, allowing them to play a significant role in the country.

 

For NGO registration in Pakistan, two vital departments oversee organizations under the Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies (Registration and Control) Ordinance 1961:

 The Ministry of Social Welfare and Special Education

The Provincial Social Welfare Department – Sindh Government

In addition, NGO registration in Karachi, Pakistan under the Societies Registration Act 1860, is conducted through the District Offices of the Industry Department. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is responsible for issuing licenses for NGO registration in Karachi, subject to specific conditions.
