NGO or Section 8 Company

✅ Advantages of Section 8 Company Registration

A Section 8 Company is a non-profit organization (NPO/NGO) registered under the Companies Act, 2013. It is formed with the objective of promoting charity, education, art, science, religion, sports, or social welfare — without profit distribution.

🔹 Key Advantages:

1. Tax Benefits
   Eligible for tax exemptions under Sections 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act.
2. Separate Legal Entity
   The company is distinct from its members and continues despite changes in management.
3. No Minimum Capital Requirement
   Unlike other companies, no minimum capital is required for incorporation.
4. Credibility & Trust
   Recognized under Indian law, which enhances its trustworthiness with donors, partners, and government agencies.
5. Limited Liability
   The liability of members is limited to their share in the company.
6. Exemption from Certain MCA Provisions
   Relaxations in compliance, such as reduced fees and fewer formalities.
