Entity Form Check — Societies, Trusts, Waqfs, NGOs
Config gate: entity portfolio. Output = attorney-review options memo.
Options table (anchors via references/full-statute-corpus.csv)
| Form | Instrument | Fits | Watchpoints |
|---|---|---|---|
| Society | Societies Registration Act 1860 (RJSC) | clubs, professional bodies, charities | governance disputes common; dissolution rules thin |
| Trust | Trusts Act 1882 (registered deed) | asset-holding, family/charitable | private trusts; public charitable trusts partly case-law governed [VERIFY] |
| Waqf | Waqfs Ordinance 1962 | Islamic endowments | Waqf Administrator oversight; alienation restrictions |
| Company limited by guarantee | Companies Act 1994 s.28 | foundations wanting corporate form | RJSC licence; coordinate bd-corporate-legal |
| NGO (foreign funds) | FDRA 2016 + NGO Affairs Bureau | donor-funded programs | project-wise approvals, renewal every 10 years [verify], anti-money-laundering overlays |
Procedure
- Purpose/funding/control questionnaire → shortlist forms.
- Formation checklist per form (documents, authority, timeline, cost [VERIFY fees]).
- Tax: income-tax exemption pathways (ITA 2023 charitable provisions
[verify SRO]), VAT touchpoints — coordinate bd-tax-legal. - Foreign funding: FDRA approvals, BFIU/AML screening — coordinate bd-regulatory-compliance.
- Output comparison memo + recommended form (attorney sign-off).
Guardrails
FDRA non-compliance risks registration cancellation and criminal exposure — foreign-funded structures always get the full compliance lane, never shortcuts.
