NGO, charitable trust, ya welfare society chalana chahte hain aur legally 100% tax exemption chahte hain? Pakistan mein ye Section 100C ke tehat possible hai — lekin sirf tab jab aapki organization sahi tareeqay se register ho aur FBR se non-profit approval hasil kare. Ye guide registration routes, FBR approval process, aur annual compliance requirements — sab explain karta hai.
SECP Section 42, Trust deed, ya Society registration — teeno routes available. FBR se separate "non-profit organization" approval chahiye Section 100C ke 100% tax credit ke liye. Surplus charitable objects par kharch karna zaroori — profit distribute nahi kar sakte.
Registration Ke 3 Routes
| Route | Authority | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Section 42 Company (Guarantee Limited) | SECP | Large NGOs, corporate-style governance, credibility |
| Trust Deed Registration | Registrar of Trusts | Family foundations, charitable trusts, waqf-style institutions |
| Society Registration | Registrar of Societies | Community organizations, welfare societies, smaller setups |
Sabse credible route: SECP ke Section 42 ke tehat "company limited by guarantee" register karna sab se zyada structured aur donor-trusted route hai — especially agar aap foreign funding ya large-scale operations plan kar rahe hain.
Section 100C — 100% Tax Credit Kaise Kaam Karta Hai
Section 100C ke tehat FBR-approved non-profit organizations ko unki income par 100% tax credit milta hai — matlab effectively income tax zero ho jata hai. Lekin ye credit automatically nahi milta — organization ko ye conditions poori karni hoti hain:
- Surplus income ko organization ke declared charitable/welfare objects par hi kharch karna
- Members/directors ko koi profit distribution nahi ho sakti
- Proper books of account maintain karna aur audit karwana
- Annual income tax return FBR ko file karna
- Governance structure transparent aur objects mein clearly defined honi chahiye
FBR Se Non-Profit Approval — Process
Entity Register Karo
SECP Section 42, Trust deed, ya Society registration — jo route best suit kare wo complete karo.
NTN Registration
FBR se organization ka NTN register karo — SECP/Trust certificate ke saath.
Non-Profit Status Application
Commissioner Inland Revenue ko application submit karo — constitution, objects, aur governance documents ke saath.
Review aur Approval
FBR objects aur structure review karta hai ke genuinely non-profit hai. Approval milne par 100C credit eligible ho jata hai.
Annual Compliance Maintain Karo
Har saal return file karo, audited accounts submit karo — tabhi credit continue rahega.
Common mistake: Kai NGOs sirf SECP/Society registration karke sochti hain ke automatically tax-exempt hain — lekin FBR se separate non-profit approval na lena Section 100C credit ko invalid kar sakta hai, jis se pichli sari income par tax liability ban sakti hai.
Ongoing Compliance — Har Saal Kya Chahiye
| Requirement | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Income Tax Return Filing | Annual |
| Audited Financial Statements | Annual |
| SECP/Society Annual Filing | Annual |
| Surplus Utilization Record | Ongoing (documented) |
