A Section 8 Company is a non-profit organisation registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, formed to promote charity, education, science, art, sports, social welfare, or environment protection. It is the most credible and trusted structure for NGOs applying its profits only towards its objectives, never distributing them to members.
"A Section 8 Company is formed to promote commerce, art, science, sports, education, research, social welfare or charity — intending to apply its profits in promoting its objects and prohibiting the payment of any dividend to its members."
— Companies Act, 2013 (India)
Section 8 is the most trusted NGO structure. Donors, CSR funders and government bodies prefer it over trusts and societies.
The company exists independently of its members. It can own property, sue and be sued in its own name.
Section 8 Companies can obtain 12A registration for income-tax exemption and 80G so donors get tax deductions on their contributions.
The NGO continues to exist regardless of changes in its members or directors ensuring your mission outlives its founders.
You can start a Section 8 Company with any amount of capital — there is no minimum capital requirement to incorporate.
Registered Section 8 Companies can receive corporate CSR funds and apply for grants — a major advantage for sustainable fundraising.
No add-ons. No surprises. Every deliverable listed below is included — government fees, professional fees, everything.
Director Identification Number — a unique 8-digit number required for every director. A Section 8 Company needs at least 2 directors; we file and obtain DIN for both.
Digital Signature Certificate needed to electronically sign all MCA documents. We procure Class 3 DSCs for both directors included in the package.
We search and reserve a unique NGO name through MCA's RUN portal — including suitable suffixes like Foundation, Association or Council allowed for Section 8 entities.
Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) drafted with your charitable objects clearly defined — the legal constitution of your NGO.
We prepare and file Form INC-12 to obtain the special licence from the Central Government that authorises your company to operate as a Section 8 non-profit.
The official government-issued Certificate of Incorporation from MCA — your NGO's birth certificate, including CIN (Company Identification Number).
Company's Permanent Account Number (PAN) for tax identity and TAN (Tax Deduction Account Number) for TDS — both applied simultaneously with incorporation.
We guide you through applying for 12A registration (income-tax exemption for the NGO) and 80G (tax deduction for your donors) — vital for fundraising.
After incorporation, our experts brief you on mandatory annual compliances, ROC filings, board meetings, and record-keeping requirements specific to Section 8 Companies.

Utility bill or bank statement of each director (not older than 2 months) showing current residential address.
Unique email and mobile number for each director — used for DSC and DIN verification processes.
A clear description of the proposed non-profit objectives (education, health, environment, etc.) to be incorporated into the MOA.

Day 14–15See how a Section 8 Company compares to other non-profit structures — and why it's the most credible choice for NGOs.
Members and directors are protected — their personal assets cannot be used to pay the NGO's debts, unlike in a trust or unregistered association.
Get 12A registration so the NGO's income is exempt from tax, and 80G so donors can claim deductions — a powerful incentive that boosts donations.
Companies prefer routing CSR funds to Section 8 entities, and many government and international grants are open only to registered non-profits like these.
You can start with any capital, and Section 8 Companies are exempt from stamp duty on incorporation keeping setup costs low.
OPCs are taxed as companies and can claim business expenses like rent, salary, and equipment as deductions from profits — optimising your tax outflow.
The mandatory nominee ensures your company survives even after you — providing seamless succession that a sole proprietorship simply cannot offer.
Banks and financial institutions view a registered OPC as more credible than a proprietorship, improving your chances of getting business credit.
As your business grows, an OPC can be smoothly converted into a Private Limited Company — letting you add partners and raise investor funding when ready.
