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. It seems that the Government of Pakistan is no more encouraging the process of NGO registration. Therefore the new entrants in the NGO industry almost have no scope. However, if you like to register a NGO for fair purposes then with some struggle its registration is possible. You can contact lawyergolra@gmail.com for NGO registration.

It is mandatory to file wealth tax statement before filing of income tax return. Most people fear of disclosing their personal assets or incomes in their returns. This fear is dangerous for themselves. The reason is that the Government already has the record of transactions and assets of most people in its record. The system is centralized at the Government's end these days. From one system FBR employees can access CNIC details, FBR details, Bank Account details, foreign transaction details, NAB cases, FIA cases, SECP details and similar other details of any individual irrespective whether such person is a filer or not. 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...
