NGO Registration

Section 08 Foundation
An organisation may be established as a Trust, a Society or a Section 8 Company. Bear in mind that these are not the same. They have different purposes and uses depending upon what you intend to achieve through the establishment of the organisation.
Not all companies have objectives of making profits by carrying out trade and commerce. Many companies primarily have charitable and non-profit objectives. Such entities are referred to as a Section 8 Company because they get recognition under Section 8 of Companies Act, 2013. These companies dedicate all their incomes and profits towards the furtherance of their objectives.

But, it does not apply to the Waqf, mutual relations of the members of an undivided family determined by any customary or personal law and religious or charitable endowments. Public Trusts in India are usually governed by state-specific legislation, such as The Maharashtra Public Trust Act, 1950.
Private Trusts : A private trust is for a closed group. In other words, the beneficiaries can be identified. Eg: A trust created for the relatives and friends of the author.
