About Section 8 Company Registration
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Section 8 companies are the most credible structure for non-profits that want to receive CSR funds, grants and donations from companies. They are governed by the Companies Act, file annual returns like any company and have clear rules on governance.
Compared with a trust or society, a Section 8 company has more compliance but better governance and is preferred by corporate donors. Its name typically ends with words like Foundation, Forum, Association or Council instead of Limited.
We draft objects that match your activities and future funding, file the incorporation and licence through SPICe+, and then handle 12A and 80G registration, CSR-1 so companies can fund you, and annual compliance.
A Section 8 company is a non-profit company formed to promote commerce, art, science, sports, education, research, social welfare, religion, charity or environmental protection, with profits applied only to its objects and no dividends paid. It is incorporated through SPICe+ with the Section 8 licence, needs two directors and two members for a private company, and has no minimum capital. Tax exemption needs separate 12A and 80G registration.
