In India one can go for NGO registration in three legally possible ways. As all three NGO models are regulated by separate acts there are many distinct features of every model. One can choose a working model based on their personal requirement and preference, along with scale and diversity of operations.
Trust Registration is governed by the Indian Trust Act, 1882 where the author (owner) assigns the rights of the property to a trustee so that the beneficiary i.e. the third person can take benefit out of it. The trust is carried out by way of an instrument called trust deed which is formed on a non-judicial stamp paper as per the stamp rates of the different states.
Trust Deed is the core document which defines the reason for formation of trust, details of the author, trustee and the beneficiary. It lays down all the working and functioning of the trust until its closure. The trust deed is registered with the sub-registrar of the concerned jurisdiction.

An NGO can take income tax exemption by getting itself registered and complying with some other formalities, but such registration does not endow any gain to the persons making donations. The Income Tax Act 1961 has few provisions which offer tax benefits to the "donors". All NGOs should take the advantage of these provisions to attract probable donors. The person or the organization making a donation to the NGO will get a deduction of 50% from his/its taxable income if an NGO gets itself registered under section 80G.
