Charitable Foundation in India

2nd Oct 1999      Anand @thepentagon.com

Hi ,

I want to start a small charitable foundation in India - in Mumbai . The
main aim is to directly help primary and secondary school children by
providing books . 

Can anyone here give me information about how to go about it ?

How do I register the foundation ?
Who do I contact ?
What are the expenses involved ?

And so on .

Thanks in advance .

| How do I register the foundation ?

You can register it under Bombay Public Trust Act, Societies
Registration Act, 1860 or under section 25 of the Companies Act .

| Who do I contact ?

For the first Act, contact the Charity Commissioner. For the Companies
Act, contact Registrar of Companies, 100 Marine Drive, Mumbai 20.

| What are the expenses involved ?

Depends upon the status and authorised capital.
