Articles of Incorporation Foundation is a crucial legal document required when establishing a non-profit foundation in Pakistan. This document must be prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2017 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). It serves as the foundation's constitutional document, outlining its charitable objectives, governance structure, and operational procedures. The Articles must specifically address Section 42 requirements for non-profit companies, including provisions for applying income solely toward promoting objectives, prohibition of dividend payments to members, and proper dissolution procedures. This document is essential for obtaining necessary licenses and registrations from SECP and other regulatory authorities, and forms the basis for the foundation's legal existence and operations in Pakistan.
