Comparative analysis of NGOs LAW’s in Pakistan with the legislation of United


Kingdom(U.K)
Laws related to charitable organization (NGOs) in
Pakistan. Comparative analysis with United Kingdom
(U.K)

Introduction of NGO
A non-legislative association is any non-benefit, willful natives gathering which is sorted out on a
nearby, national or global level
The World Bank characterized NGO
” as private association that seeks after exercises to alleviate
enduring, or potentially advance the premiums of poor people, as well as ensure nature, or
potentially give fundamental social administrations as well as embrace network development”
(Operational Directive 14.70)

History of NGO in Pakistan


The inception of NGOs in Pakistan returns to parcel 1947, when British India was isolated into
two states India and Pakistan. Many willful associations (however not alluded as NGOs around
then) were shaped to give philanthropic guide to displaced people filling the recently settled
nation.

World history of NGO


Internationally, the history of NGOs dates back to the Eighteen Century. However, the word
non-governmental organization became famous when United Nation was established in
1945.During the twentieth century, NGOs gained a lot of popularity due to globalization. Many
issues alone could not be solved nationally. International institutions such as World Trade
Organization were created with certain treaties for the betterment of capitalist businesses. To
vindicate this trend, NGOs were created and they were urged to work on human rights issues so
the further enhancement in the developing nations could be ensured.

Laws related to NGOs in Pakistan


By the way, there are many laws related to NGOs in Pakistan but the following six are of more
importance:
1. Rehabilitation Social Welfare Agencies Registration and Control Ordinance 1961. This
law describes legitimate purposes in the field of social welfare
2. The Societies Registration Act, 1860. This law applies to a wider charitable society for
the benefit of the public.
3. The Cooperative Society Act, 1925.
4. The Trust Act, 1882. This law applies to private entities operating on a larger scale.
5. Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. This law exempts taxation and NGOs that qualify for it.
6. The Companies Ordinance, 1984 (section 42). This section of law looks at companies
that promote profitability.

Laws related to NGOs in U.K


There are three significant laws that governing NGOs in U.K. These are the following:
1.Charities (*2006 charities Act part 1, section 2) According to the U.K law, charitable
organizations are those institutions established to meet charitable goals The purpose of a
charity is to benefit the public For example poverty prevention, promoting education and
developing it, promoting religious trends, the development of art, civilization and culture , work
for the well-being of people who are in need such as the young, elderly, sick and those who face
economic hardships.
2.Social Movements
The movement of a movement is more complex than the ideas of groups and events
through a social movement, which we often mean to identify a group of people with certain
beliefs. The population can change drastically in this case, but while some groups of people are
still working with that belief, we considered living in the moment to be a major change in
women’s movement structure and internal organization. But usually also in this movement. That
is, the action of writing the history of the women’s movement is more likely to include past
heroines who were completely different from current activities in beliefs and personal
characteristics because their actions were similar or influenced by the facts of the population.
Acceptance and action is not always so. When changes in one cause serious problems for
students of social movements, then when we turn away, should we follow the beliefs that they
belong to which population and actions? Should we follow a population that believes and acts?
Should we follow the process, regardless of who does it and with what ideas?
(Charles Tilly From Mobilization to Revolution New York)

3.NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organizations)


The following criteria must be met in order to be eligible for NCVO for membership

 Volunteering for a community should be self-governing body for the benefit of the
community and for those who volunteer for someone else, rather than financially.
 If your headquarters office is to be used in the U.K, your headquarters must be based in
England.
 It must be properly formed and its existence should not be limited to a specific purpose.
 Parties that are affiliated with/or affiliated with the political party are not eligible for
membership.
What is current dilemma/problem?
Even in modern times, Pakistan is facing serious threats like corruption. Sadly, issues like
corruption include politicians, bureaucrats, from the top to the bottom. Although many steps
have been taken to tackle the problem such as corruption in Pakistan, I have not yet seen any
logical end. Before I elaborate more about the problem, I would like to explain; what is
corruption?

Corruption
Corruption is the bilateral selection of public power or the misuse of a sophisticated civil
servant gain.
Corruption is an abuse of power opposition to private profits such as bribery and
passive corruption or allowing someone else to bribe, as well as the problem of corruption in the
humanitarian sector. Measurements shows. This is difficult to determine, but it is understood
that corruption in the private commercial sector is at very low level.
(Transparency International Jérôme Larché, November 1999)

Types of corruption
The catalog of corrupt practices is very broad and includes extortion and the influence of fraud.
Estimated there are two major forms of corruption; abdominal and widespread corruption.

 Abdominal corruption is a form that involves a relatively small amount of money, whose
effects have little on the country but more harmful than anything else.
 Widespread corruption, on the other hand, involves more provocative money and has a
lot of impact on the country for example; the money that government officials seize is to
pay for public projects or to increase the salaries of legislators who are planning to
legislate in the interest of an individuals who work with Impact Assessment officials to
award non environmental friendly projects to public enterprises awarding public
contracts etc…

This above mention information is raised when I read the research report of Dr.AKEKH KHAN
from Peshawar, which was related to non-government organizations. In this report, he has
thrown light on the bitter facts of how USAID and foreign organizations are one of the biggest
cause of corruption in NGOs of Pakistan. After that, I figured out that a non -government
organization in Pakistan known as Edhi Foundation works without any external aid and
donations can do the best. The secret to the development and success of the Edhi Foundation
is the only and only corruption-free system.

What do you want to achieve?


With this research, I can reduce the rate of corruption in non-governmental organizations in
Pakistan, but certainly less. In view of this, I compared my Pakistani laws with those related to
NGOs to British laws. This comparison reveals that the penalties for corruption in U.K are
severe. I want to do the same in Pakistan. Likewise, all our NGO related departments can
benefit. If we eliminate all the problems from our country which include poverty, unemployement
and corruption, then Pakistan will be in the ranks of the developed countries. (INSHAALLAH)

How you will accomplish it?


I will use the method of conducting surveys in my research, which will make it easier for NGOs
to solve their problems regarding corruption.

Conclusion
The purpose of creating NGOs in any country is for the welfare of the people there. It would not
be wrong if it is said that NGOs are formed to eliminate the problems facing any nation. The
history of these NGOs shows that they started from eighteenth century. That is, people in the
eighteenth century realized that the only the government system was insufficient to solve the
people’s problems. These organizations work on a different issues; including poverty,
unemployment, illiteracy, lack of access to health care for children and women in backward
areas. The purpose of the discussion on this topic is to improve the performance of NGOs in
Pakistan. If corruption is involved in this sector, then people’s support for NGOs will also be lost.
This worsens the situation in Pakistan. U.K based NGO-related laws take public interest first
due to which their society is able to develop on a modern basis. The rate of corruption in the
U.K is negligible. My purpose in comparing the laws of the U.K with their guidance is to
eliminate the corruption found in Pakistani NGOs.
