Punjab Charity Commission has issued a directive requiring all charitable organisations to register before collecting donations or launching fundraising activities across Punjab.
The official notice confirmed that registration must be completed with the Punjab Charity Commission, ensuring compliance with provincial regulations governing charitable operations.
Organisations are required to declare objectives, income sources, and expenditure details in applications submitted to authorities for approval before initiating any welfare activities.
Charities must securely maintain records of all welfare activities for seven years to facilitate inspections, audits, and compliance with provincial legal requirements.
The directive from the relevant authority cited Punjab Charities Act 2018, Registration Rules 2023, and Inspection and Audit Rules 2023 as the governing legal framework.
For further guidance, the commission provided contact details through email, WhatsApp, and official helpline numbers to assist organisations with registration and compliance procedures.
