Get Charity Commission Registration

Comply with provincial charity laws and operate with public trust

Charity Commission registration is a jurisdiction compliance requirement for organizations that collect donations from the public or operate as charitable entities within certain jurisdictions of Pakistan. Without this registration, NGOs may face legal restrictions, public complaints, or enforcement action by relevant authorities.

Advis provides structured support to help NGOs obtain Charity Commission registration and remain compliant with ongoing requirements.

What Is Charity Commission Registration?

Charity Commission registration is a provincial/jurisdiction regulatory requirement introduced to:

Regulate public fundraising and charitable activities
Protect donors and beneficiaries
Improve transparency and accountability

Each jurisdiction has its own Charity Commission law, procedures, and compliance expectations.

Who Needs Charity Commission Registration

You should obtain Charity Commission registration if your NGO:

Collects donations from the general public
Runs charity appeals, campaigns, or welfare drives
Operates in provinces where Charity Commission laws apply
Wishes to demonstrate transparency to donors and regulators

In many cases, Charity Commission registration is mandatory, not optional.

Jurisdictions Where Charity Commission Laws Apply

Charity Commission–style regulatory frameworks currently apply in the following provinces and territories:

Punjab — Punjab Charities Act, 2018
Sindh — Sindh Charities Registration & Regulation Act, 2019
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Charities Act, 2019
Balochistan — Balochistan Charities Registration, Regulation and Facilitation Act, 2019
Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) — AJK Charity Commission Act, 2020
Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) — ICT Charities Act, 2021

Final documentation depends on the province and organization profile.

Eligibility Considerations

Charity Commissions typically assess:

Valid legal registration of the NGO
Clear charitable or welfare objectives
Governance and board structure
Financial transparency and audit history
Donation collection methods

Organizations with unclear objectives or weak records often face delays.

Documents Commonly Required

While requirements vary by jurisdiction, authorities usually review:

Registration and renewal certificates
Governing documents (MOA, rules, trust deed)
Board or trustee details
Audited financial statements
Bank account information
Fundraising plans or appeal details

Final documentation depends on the province and organization profile.
