Section 8 Company Registration
Launch your non-profit initiative with ease
Best Formation for Your Non-Profit
A Section 8 Company can be registered when the primary objective is to promote non-profit activities. It is a non-profit organization, and although it can generate income or profit, such income must be used only for promoting its objectives and cannot be distributed among promoters.
This structure is highly recommended for organizations working in the NGO and charitable sector, focusing on activities such as:
- Trade, Commerce, and Arts
- Charity and Education
- Religion and Social welfare
- Environmental protection
- Sports and Research
Ensures a Transparent Image Among Donors
The primary purpose of a Section 8 Company is to promote non-profit objectives. It is one of the most suitable structures for NGOs operating across India. Compared to state-registered NGOs, Section 8 Companies enjoy a more transparent and credible image among donors due to central registration under the ROC and mandatory compliance requirements.
Fewer Members Required
It requires only 2 directors for incorporation. In comparison, a Trust requires a minimum of 3 members, and a Society requires a minimum of 7 members.
Separate Legal Entity
A Section 8 Company enjoys all features of a standard corporation, meaning it functions as a completely separate legal entity from its members.
Perpetual Succession
The organization has perpetual succession, ensuring that the company's life is not affected by the death, retirement, or departure of any of its members.
Benefits of a Section 8 Company
Section 8 Companies enjoy several benefits and privileges under company law designed to facilitate their non-profit activities:
Corporate Exemptions
Various privileges and exemptions under the Companies Act, including the non-applicability of the Companies Auditors Report Order and no requirement for minimum paid-up capital. Registered partnership firms can also become members.
Enhanced Funding Opportunities
Eligible to receive government funding, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) funds, and private donations seamlessly.
Tax Benefits for Donors
Donors contributing to a Section 8 Company can claim tax deductions under Section 80G, making it highly attractive for fundraising.
