THE SOCIETIES REGISTRATION ACT 1860 AND IT’S BASIC PURPOSE.

“An Act for the Registration of Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies, The following societies may be registered under this Act:-

Charitable societies, societies established for the promotion of science, literature, or the fine arts, for instruction, the diffusion of useful

knowledge, [the diffusion of political education], the foundation or maintenance of libraries or reading rooms for general use among the

members or open to the public, or public museums and galleries of painting and other works of art, collections of natural history,

mechanical and philosophical inventions, instruments, or designs.

SUB SECTION 12 OF ARTICLE 1860.Whenever it shall appear to the governing body of any

society registered under this Act, which has been established for any particular purpose or purposes, that it is advisable to

alter, extend or abridge such purpose to or for other purposes within the meaning of this Act, or to amalgamate

such society either wholly or partially with any other society, such governing body may submit the proposition to the

members of the society in a written or printed report and may convene a special meeting for the consideration thereof

according to the regulations of the society.

But no such proposition shall be carried into effect unless such report shall have been delivered or sent

by post to every member of the society ten days previous to the special meeting convened by the

governing body for the consideration thereof, nor unless such proposition shall have been agreed to by the votes of three-fifths of the members delivered in person or by proxy, and confirmed by the votes of

three-fifths of the members present at a second special meeting convened by the governing body at an interval of one month after the former meeting.”

THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF THE NONPROFIT SECTOR IN PAKISTAN

BY: Zafar H.Ismail.Section 4. Analysis and Recommendations

D. Purposes:

While the laws permit a range of activities, which interpreted liberally, do not

appear to inhibit organizations from undertaking nearly everything, which is not illegal. However, they do prohibit certain activities and actions.

•Personal Benefits, Only the laws in the Category A body of legislation prohibit the payment of remuneration to the governing body

and the members of the NPOs. These and the other laws prohibit the sharing of left over assets after dissolution to the Members. Insider trading is allowed only if such disclosure has been made and permission sought from the governing

body. Executive salaries are implicitly required to be reasonable, but there is no explicit bar on them by law.

However, the Articles of Association or the Trust deed can lay down limits at the discretion of Members or the Creators

of the Trust.

•Business Activity, Each of the laws explicitly require a statement of objectives and purpose to be clearly specified. Only the various trusts acts permit these to be not written

down. However, in this case an affidavit has to be filed by the Trustees. Once registered these statements of intent are the binding constraints on the activities,

which can be undertaken by the concerned NPO.NPOs can undertake businesses, which are not necessarily related to their purpose, provided that their statements of intent (for instance, Trust deed,

Memorandum of Association) permit such activity. Irrespective of whether they have been approved as a “charitable institution” under the Income Tax

Ordinance income from such profit-making activities are liable to tax unless they can be shown to have been spent for the purposes of the activities for which the

organization has been established. An instance of this treatment owned and operated by the charitable trusts and foundations established by the defence

forces of Pakistan. This was not withstanding their plugging back the profits for the welfare of the retired defence forces personnel.

•Funding Restrictions,

All NPOs are required to seed approval for a concerted campaign to raise funds either through charity drives or through holding public gatherings for art, musical, theatrical or charitable purposes at which

tickets/cards are sold in advance or gate money is collected. Such permission must be obtained from the District Coordination Officer

(DCO) of the District in which the activity is to be undertaken. Application must be made under the Charitable Funds (Registration of Collection)

Act, 1953 which then permits the NPO to apply for exemption from Entertainment Duty. The District Coordination Officer (DCO) has

considerable discretion in either granting or rejecting the application without specifying any reason. Recent case laws have required that

decisions should be in the form of “Speaking” orders (that is, must clearly stipulate the rationale which governs the order. In other words, (why and

how).

•Financial Accountability, Each law requires that accounts be maintained. The form and manner is specified in all the various trusts acts. Audit requirements are also stated. However, the stringency for both the maintenance of accounts and its subsequent audit differs in each case. The rig our is

directly proportional to the rig our in preparing the registration documents. Thus only rudimentary accounting and auditing is

required under the various trusts acts. At the other end of the scale the Companies Ordinance requires that accounts be maintained using the International Accounting Standards which are used by the Chartered

Accountants for auditing the books of accounts.A statement of receipts by donor is required to be filed under the

Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies Ordinance.

•Political Activities, The body of law, other than the Voluntary Social

Welfare Ordinance, does not prohibit the NPOs either from engaging in political activity or contributing. However, under the Income Tax Ordinance no NPO engaged in

political activity will be granted an exemption from income tax on the campaign funds it may collect. The body of law which impacts on political activities is Political Parties Act

which is limited to political parties specifically set up to undertake only political activities.

Foundation passed Resolution in its meeting held on 31-01-2015 Regarding Amendment in the
