Overview

What is Section 8 Company?

A Section 8 Company is the most respected way to run a non-profit or charitable organisation in India. If your goal is to help society — through education, charity, environment, art or social welfare — and not to earn profit for yourself, this structure gives you credibility and tax benefits. It is the NGO version of a company, with strong legal standing.

A Section 8 Company is a company formed for charitable or non-profit purposes. Any profit it makes must be used for its goals, not shared among members. It enjoys high trust because it follows company-level rules and transparency. It can also get tax exemptions (like 12A and 80G), which let donors claim tax benefits — making it easier to raise donations.

Questions

FAQs

What is the difference between a trust, society and Section 8 Company?

All three can run non-profits, but a Section 8 Company has the highest credibility and follows company rules, which donors and grant-givers trust most.

What are 12A and 80G?

12A gives your organisation tax exemption on its income. 80G lets your donors claim tax benefits on their donations. Both make fundraising easier. We help you get them.

Can a Section 8 Company make profit?

It can earn income, but the money must be used for its charitable goals — it cannot be shared among members as profit.

How long does registration take?

Usually 15 to 25 working days, as it needs a special government licence.

Can I pay salaries in a Section 8 Company?

Yes, you can pay reasonable salaries to staff for their work. What you cannot do is distribute profits to members.
