Scope & availability
LawAstra can organise factual records and an agreed preparation checklist. Eligibility decisions, tax or legal advice, certification, professional drafting, filing and representation require your separate engagement with the appropriately qualified professional. Government and professional fees are separate.
Know the scope.
Keep control.
Define the output, timing, fees and responsibilities before accepted work begins.
How we workWhat can the support scope cover?
Organise an authorised factual brief for a proposed or existing nonprofit, trust, society or Section 8 company. Index governing papers held, office-bearer records, available financial papers and application or renewal references. Choosing a structure, preparing governing instruments, determining tax exemption or foreign-contribution eligibility and making filings require separate qualified professional engagement.
Does LawAstra register an NGO or select its structure?
No. The preparation file supports a discussion with your independently retained professional. Structure selection, professional documents, certification and filings are outside this service.
Does this include tax-exemption or foreign-contribution approval?
No eligibility or approval is promised. Available papers and references can be indexed for review by your qualified specialist and the relevant authority.
Can an established organisation use this?
Yes, an agreed preparation scope can organise governing papers, record owners, financial-source documents and stated renewal or review dates.
