Section 8 Company Registration

Section 8 Company Registration in India

A Section 8 Company is a unique business structure in India, ideal for individuals or groups looking to promote charitable, social, or not-for-profit activities. It offers the benefits of a private limited company but is focused on purposes such as promoting education, arts, science, sports, or any other charitable objective.

Overview

A Section 8 Company is a not-for-profit entity formed under the Companies Act, 2013, with a focus on charitable or social causes. These companies operate for the promotion of commerce, education, arts, charity, and environmental protection, among others. While they enjoy several tax benefits, they are required to reinvest their profits back into their stated objectives and are prohibited from distributing dividends to their members.

At BookmyLLC, we provide complete support for registering a Section 8 Company, ensuring compliance with all regulatory norms.
