Registration, renewal and cancellation of a public society.

Misguided understanding of the words- NGO, License, Permit, Renewal, Registrationof . Et al.

Dear friends,

20th November 2015

It is amusing for a lay person like me who believe that LAW is LOGIC and

wisdom of common person/citizen to read the words NGO, License, Permit, Renewal

Registration et al are used so loosely and casually in the context of

Voluntary Organisations. At the end of the day we are a misinformed lot by

mesmerisation of hearing these words repeatedly.

WE, Voluntary Organisations are not given License and Permits. I do not

know which bloke started using or misusing these words that common citizens get

wrong signals. But, we read such words even in The Hindu- well known for Good

English.. Will any legal luminary correct my understanding and
