A Section 8 Company is a Non-Profit Organization (NPO) registered under the Companies Act 2013. It is formed with the purpose of promoting commerce, art, science, sports, education, research, social welfare, religion, charity, or any other useful object.
Unlike a regular company, a Section 8 Company applies its profits or other income solely to promote its objectives. It is prohibited from paying dividends to its members. Any surplus generated must be reinvested in the organization's activities.
Section 8 Companies enjoy higher credibility compared to Trust or Society structures because they are regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and are subject to stricter governance requirements. This makes them the preferred NGO structure for foreign donors, CSR funders, and international collaborations.
Regulated by MCA - trusted by foreign donors, corporates and government bodies
Members' personal assets protected - liability limited to their contribution
Exemption from stamp duty on MOA and AOA at the time of registration
International organizations prefer Section 8 for FCRA and CSR partnerships

Directors and members enjoy limited liability protection - personal assets are protected from organizational debts.
