Section 8 / NGO Company Registration
A Section 8 Company (Non-Profit Organization) is a legally registered entity formed to promote charitable, social, educational, environmental, religious, and welfare activities without the intent of profit distribution. Instead of income being shared by members, every rupee earned is reinvested into the mission for public good.
Why Choose a Section 8 Company?
Section 8 Companies are governed under the Companies Act, 2013 and regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs — making them more transparent and trustworthy than Trusts or Societies.
High Government Credibility
Section 8 Companies are approved and regulated by MCA, which ensures strong transparency and ethical operation. This gives donors and corporate partners high confidence in the organization’s integrity and mission alignment.
Tax Benefits Under 12A & 80G
Donors get tax deductions on contributions, making it easier for NGOs to raise funds. These exemptions also reduce financial burden, allowing more capital to be directed toward impactful activities.
Dedicated to Public Welfare
Every rupee earned must be used only for the social cause stated in the mission. This ensures the organization’s work remains focused on public benefit, not personal profit.
Separate Legal Entity
The organization can own property, receive grants, enter contracts, and operate independently of its members — ensuring smoother governance and stronger operational legality.
No Dividend Distribution
Since profits can’t be shared, every amount raised is reinvested into the cause. This attracts donors who trust that resources will be fully used for upliftment and community betterment.
Eligibility for CSR Funding
Registered companies must spend a portion of profits on CSR activities. Section 8 Companies are eligible recipients, giving them access to large-scale corporate funding and support.
Global Fundraising Opportunities
Section 8 Companies can apply for FCRA registration, allowing them to legally receive donations from foreign institutions and individuals — expanding global reach and impact.
Better Governance & Accountability
Mandatory audits, official filings, and structured records ensure clear accountability. This builds ethical foundations and long-term donor relationships based on transparency.
Strong Brand Recognition
Having “Section 8 Company” adds professional legitimacy. This premium status sets the NGO apart from informal or unregistered organizations in the same sector.
