Section 8 Company Registration – Complete Overview
What is Section 8 Company Registration?
A Section 8 Company is a non-profit organization registered under the Companies Act, 2013, established for promoting charitable objectives such as education, social welfare, healthcare, environmental protection, research, art, science, and other public benefit activities. The profits earned by a Section 8 Company are strictly used for achieving its objectives and are not distributed among its members.
Importance of Section 8 Company Registration
Section 8 Company registration provides high legal credibility, transparency, and recognition compared to other NGO structures. It enables organizations to access government grants, CSR funding, foreign contributions, and donor support. This structure is widely trusted by authorities, funding agencies, and corporate entities due to its strict compliance framework.
Eligibility for Section 8 Company Registration
Any individual, group of individuals, or organization intending to work for non-profit and charitable purposes can apply for Section 8 Company registration. A minimum of two directors and two members are required. The company must have clear charitable objectives, proper documentation, and must comply with the conditions prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013.
