What is Section 8 Company Registration?

A Section 8 company, governed by specific legal provisions such as Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 in India, is a non-profit organization formed for charitable purposes.

Section 8 corporations, in contrast to for-profit businesses, prioritize socially conscious endeavors like social welfare, education, and research. Members benefit from restricted liability, personal asset protection, and possible tax benefits for the organization.

Making money for shareholders is not the primary goal than promoting the larger good. Regulatory compliance is essential, like meeting philanthropic goals and submitting yearly reports.
