Advantages of Registering a Section 8 Company (Companies Act, 2013)

Highest Credibility Among NGOs

Section 8 Companies are directly regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, making them more trustworthy than traditional societies and trusts. Ideal for large projects and serious donors.

Eligibility for CSR & Government Funding

Corporates prefer Section 8 entities for CSR allocations. Your organization becomes eligible to apply for CSR funds, government schemes, international grants, and institutional donations.

No Minimum Capital Requirement

You can start your Section 8 Company with any capital – even zero – and raise resources later through grants, donations, crowdfunding, and project-based funding.

Limited Liability Protection

Members’ personal assets are protected. They are not personally liable for the company’s debts, enabling safer management of large-scale social initiatives.

Tax Exemptions (12A & 80G)

After incorporation, a Section 8 Company can apply for 12A and 80G registrations, enabling income tax benefits and tax deduction advantages for donors – boosting fundraising potential.

Structured & Professional Image

As a licensed company with robust compliance and governance, a Section 8 entity projects a highly professional image, making it easier to collaborate with corporates, institutions, and global agencies.

Select Packages

Note : Packages are applicable for the incorporation of a Private Limited Company where the Authorised Capital and Paid-up Capital are both ₹1,00,000. Any variation in capital or additional services will be charged separately as per applicable rules and government fees.
