What is the difference between a Trust, Society and Section 8 Company?

A Trust is governed by a Trust Deed, a Society by bye-laws under the Societies Registration Act, and a Section 8 Company is incorporated under the Companies Act 2013. Each has different governance, compliance and funding implications.

Can an NGO receive foreign donations?

Yes, but only after obtaining FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) registration from the Ministry of Home Affairs.
