Document background
Articles of Non-Profit Organization is a crucial legal document required for establishing and operating a non-profit entity in Pakistan. This document must comply with either the Societies Registration Act 1860 or Section 42 of the Companies Act 2017, depending on the chosen registration route. It serves as the constitutional document that defines the organization's purpose, operational framework, and governance structure. The articles are essential for registration with relevant authorities such as the Registrar of Societies or the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). They provide the legal basis for the organization's activities, outline member rights and responsibilities, establish management procedures, and ensure proper oversight and accountability. This document is particularly important as it helps maintain transparency and demonstrates compliance with Pakistani regulatory requirements for non-profit organizations.
