There are four statutes that govern the NGO registration procedures in Pakistan. 1. The Societies Registration Act 1860 2. The Trusts Act 1882 3. The Volunteer Social Welfare Agency Act 1961 4. The Companies Act 2017 Out of these four statutes ban has been imposed on first three procedures. The fourth one is now the official procedure which takes long time for registration. Similarly if a person starts complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2017, it is not necessary that the NGO may be registered even after a year's struggle.

So it is best to be fair with the Government and to disclose the assets and transactions fairly to avoid any problems in future. For professional advise or for filing you...
