The most credible corporate structure for non-profits.
A Section 8 Company is a non-profit organisation registered under the Companies Act, 2013 for promoting charitable objects such as education, art, science, sports, social welfare, environmental protection or charity. It is the most credible NGO structure in India because it is regulated by the MCA with the same governance discipline as a company, which builds trust with donors, CSR funders and government bodies. Any profits or income must be applied solely towards the organisation's objectives and cannot be distributed to members. A Section 8 Company can later obtain 12A and 80G registrations to unlock income-tax exemptions and donor deductions.
