Quick facts
- Section 8 Company: DIRECTOR, Authorised Signatory, Round Stamp.
- Trust: TRUSTEE or Authorised Signatory stamp + round stamp.
- Society: PRESIDENT or SECRETARY stamp + round stamp.
NGOs, Trusts, and Societies in India follow a different registration process than Companies, but the practical need for a stamp after registration is the same.
Does an NGO need a Rubber Stamp?
There's no separate legal category of "NGO stamp" — in practice, an NGO's Rubber Stamp works the same way as a Company's: a designation stamp (President, Secretary, or Authorised Signatory) and a round seal used on official documents, bank paperwork, and correspondence.
Does a Trust need a Rubber Stamp?
Same principle — a Trust typically needs a Trustee or Authorised Signatory stamp and a round seal, used for opening a bank account and signing on the Trust's behalf. There's no separate "Trust stamp" law; it follows the same practical convention as any registered entity.
Does a Society need a Rubber Stamp?
Registered Societies commonly use a Secretary or President stamp plus a round seal, again following the same day-to-day paperwork logic as Companies and Trusts.
Is this different from a Company's Section 8 stamp?
A Section 8 Company is itself a Company structure used by many NGOs, and its stamp set (Director, Authorised Signatory, Round seal) is identical to any other Company's. Trusts and Societies registered outside the Companies Act follow the same practical stamp logic, just with designation titles suited to their own governing structure (Trustee, President, Secretary).
Where can I get one?
Since there's no separate product category for this, the same custom Rubber Stamp process applies — specify the entity name and designation, and the stamp is made to that specification. Our Section 8 Company stamp set is the closest direct match for NGOs structured as Companies; for Trusts and Societies, the general Rubber Stamps range covers the same custom specification process.
Frequently asked questions
Does an NGO need a Rubber Stamp?
In practice, yes. Banks and government offices expect a designation stamp (PRESIDENT, SECRETARY or AUTHORISED SIGNATORY) and a round stamp on official documents.
Is a Trust's or Society's stamp different from a Company's?
Only the role changes: TRUSTEE for a Trust, PRESIDENT or SECRETARY for a Society. The layout is the same.
Does a Section 8 Company need a Signboard?
Yes. A Section 8 Company is a Company under the Companies Act, so Section 12(3)(a) applies to its registered office.
