Need Help with Registration of Section 8 Company?
A Section 8 Company is established under the Companies Act, 2013 (India), primarily for promoting non-profit objectives such as commerce, art, science, sports, education, research, social welfare, religion, charity, protection of the environment, or any other objective. These companies are unique because profits, if any, are reinvested towards their founding cause and not distributed as dividends to their members. The Indian government grants these companies special status, exempting them from some requirements applicable to other commercial companies.
Section 8 Companies enjoy several benefits, including:
  • Tax Benefits: Section 8 Companies enjoy tax exemptions, meaning they pay less tax and have more funds for charitable activities.
  • Limited Liability: Members and directors are protected from personal liability, so their assets are safe if the company faces financial issues.
  • Trustworthiness: Being a Section 8 Company boosts trust among donors and stakeholders, as it shows a commitment to social good.
  • Focus on Social Impact: These companies prioritize helping society over making profits, tackling issues like poverty, education, and healthcare.
  • Access to Funding: Section 8 Companies can access funding and grants from various sources to support their initiatives.
  • Operational Flexibility: While they have rules to follow, they can still adapt to changing needs and make decisions that benefit society.
  • Stamp Duty Exemption: They don’t have to pay stamp duty on certain documents, reducing registration costs.
  • Sustainability: By reinvesting earnings into their goals, Section 8 Companies can create lasting change and improve society’s well-being.
To qualify for registration as a Section 8 Company, individuals or groups must meet the following criteria approved by the Central Government:
  • Purpose: The company must aim to promote specific activities like education, charity, or environmental protection.
  • Use of Funds: Any profits made must be reinvested in these activities.
  • No Dividends: The company cannot distribute dividends to its members; funds must be used for its charitable goals.
