Ngos In Karachi Biography
Working to stabilise and improve the nutritional and food security levels of the most affected and vulnerable population in the country. Managing a community based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) programme, in key districts across the country.To promote friendship and goodwill between the people of Pakistan,develop and promote social, cultural and sporting activities amongst its members.To promote and encourage members of the Pakistani community to be proud of their customs, language, culture and values.The non-profit sector in Pakistan is characterised by diversity and vibrancy, and in recent years it has grown considerably as the government has recognised the value of NGOs to development and improving the life of its citizens. It includes traditional welfare organisations, as well as modern development-oriented NGOs, and many informal networks of community-based organisations. The term “NGO” has gained currency in Pakistan in recent years and is generally considered to be any non-government organisation, which works for the welfare of society, however there is no legal definition of the term in Pakistani law. Such organisations usually take the form of societies or voluntary welfare agencies and a large proportion of the sector remains informal and consequently unregistered with any government agency.The right of free association is guaranteed by the Pakistan Constitution, though this right is limited.

The legal framework governing NGOs is complex, and there are several laws under which an NGO may be registered. The most significant of these are:

Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies Registration and Control Ordinance 1961. This Ordinance defines permissible purposes within the social welfare field. Registration under this legislation is mandatory if organisations wish to receive government funding.

The Societies Registration Act, 1860. This Act applies to charitable societies with a wide range of public benefit purposes.

The Cooperative Society Act, 1925

The Companies Ordinance, 1984 (section 42). This section of the Ordinance applies to not-for-profit companies formed to promote ‘useful objects’

The Trust Act, 1882. This act applies to private trust with a wide range of purposes.

Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. This Act sets out the tax exemptions which NGOs are eligible for.

In most cases, registration is not compulsory. The exceptions are foreign NGOs and those in receipt of government funding which are required to register with the Economic Affairs Division and Central Board of Revenue respectively. As such the majority of NGOs can choose whether or not to register, and which regime to register under.  The majority (65.4%) of NGOs are registered under the Societies Registration Act while around 20% of NGOs are not registered under any act.
