What is a Section 8 Company?
A Section 8 Company is a non-profit organization registered under the Companies Act, 2013 for promoting charitable activities such as education, social welfare, art, culture, environment protection, healthcare, research, and similar objectives.
The profits earned by a Section 8 Company are used only for promoting its objectives and cannot be distributed among members or directors.
Section 8 Companies are commonly preferred by NGOs, charitable trusts, social welfare organizations, and non-profit institutions because they offer better credibility and structured management.
