Registration Services

Registration and renewal for income tax exemption and donor deduction.

Registration under section 12A establishing the organisation's exemption, and under section 80G enabling donors to claim deduction. Both now operate on a renewal cycle rather than in perpetuity, and both are conditions of the funding base — we handle the application, the departmental queries and the periodic renewal.

Form the right entity, with records that hold up later.

We advise on the structure that fits the activity and the ownership, then carry out the formation — name approval, constitutional documents, director or partner identification, and the registrations that follow immediately. The records created at formation are the ones examined years later in diligence, so they are prepared to that standard from the outset.

GST, PAN, TAN, professional tax and establishment registrations.

The operating registrations every entity needs before it can trade, employ or invoice: permanent account number and tax deduction account number, goods and services tax, professional tax, and shops and establishment registration in each state of operation. Obtained together, so nothing is discovered missing at the first payroll run.

Import export code and the registrations that cross-border trade requires.

Importer exporter code registration and the associated trade registrations for organisations moving goods or services across borders, together with the customs and banking documentation the first consignment or receipt will require.

Udyam registration and the benefits that follow from it.

Registration of the enterprise under the Udyam framework, which supports access to priority lending, protection under delayed payment provisions, and eligibility for state and central incentive schemes. A short registration with disproportionate downstream value.

Registration or prior permission to receive foreign contribution.

Application for registration under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, or for prior permission where the organisation is not yet eligible for registration, including the designated bank account, the supporting activity record and responses to departmental queries. Receiving foreign funds without this in place is not a procedural lapse.

Enrolment on the government portal that grant access depends on.

Enrolment and maintenance of the organisation's record on the NGO Darpan portal, which government departments and many funders treat as a precondition for grants and empanelment.

Registration for software export and special economic zone units.

Registration of a unit under the software technology parks scheme or in a special economic zone, including the approval application, the bonding and reporting undertakings, and the periodic returns the status carries. Relevant to technology and services businesses exporting from India.

Application and approval for regulated financial activity.

Application for a certificate of registration to carry on non-banking financial activity, including capital and fit-and-proper documentation, the business plan the regulator expects, and responses through the approval process. A long process, and one where preparation determines the outcome.

The licences and approvals a specific activity requires.

Identification and procurement of the sector permissions a business needs to operate lawfully — food, drugs, environment, factory, labour and trade licences among them. Which apply depends on the activity rather than the entity type, and mapping that correctly is most of the work.

Provident fund and state insurance registration as headcount grows.

Registration under the provident fund and employees' state insurance schemes once the workforce crosses the applicable thresholds, including establishment registration, employee enrolment and the initial returns. Handled at the point the obligation arises rather than after a notice.
