02 July 2012 If your NGO is a sec 25 company under Companies Act, then the answer is NO. You can not. But if it is a proprietory NGO, you may do so subject to proper liscence of LENDING money.

02 July 2012 If the NGO is registered as a Society thn can it do?


03 July 2012 The society has to do the business with its members ... that is the punch line. Ifit does business with non members, obviously it will become TAXABLE. ( The assumption is that the business activity is included in the object clause.)

In Gujarat such kind of activity requires Registration under Money Lending Act. so please verify from that angle also.

03 July 2012 So Amol Ji U mean to say tht I can do business of money lending. I dont mind given tax.

I am frm Assam so is there any kind of act in Assam also where I need to get registered.

04 July 2012 Hope you are not forgetting the point of "MONEY LENDING LISCENCE"

04 July 2012 I do remember.
But is it possible to do those kind of business?

You can definitely do the business because so far as I understand your ultimate goal is to serve poor and needy people who otherwise extra ordinary Interest to Lending Mafias or Shahukars .

In fact in Gujarat respected Ilaben Bhatt who established institution SEVA to help ladies who were selling Vegitables etc
and Paying 1800% int per annum.

I dont have any idea of How to obtain a Permission -Registration In Assam.
So I suggest to contact some Local Advocate
in this matter.

Meanwhile if I will find any additional material in the matter I will surely let you know.Please send your Email Id through Private Message.
