Sec 8 (Non Profit) Company Registration

Under the Companies Act 2013, a section 8 company is a non-profit entity established to promote sectors such as trade, arts, science, sports, education, research, social welfare, environmental protection, and other charitable causes.

Unlike traditional profit-oriented companies, section 8 companies are formed to serve society and are legally prohibited from distributing profits among their members. If any profit is generated, it has to be reinvested in the company to fulfil its objectives.

Features of Section 8 Companies

  • Formed with a Non-Profit Objective: The primary aim of the companies incorporated under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, is to promote charitable activities without the intention of earning profits.
  • No “Limited” or “Private Limited” Suffix: Unlike private or public companies, Section 8 companies do not use “Ltd.” or “Pvt. Ltd.” in their name.
  • Limited Liability: The members of the section 8 companies have liabilities limited to their shares in the company, which means that their personal assets are protected from the debts and liability of the company.
  • No Minimum Capital Requirement: No minimum capital is required to incorporate a Section 8 Company in India.
  • Separate Legal Entity: The company has its own legal identity in the eyes of the law and stakeholders, which allows it to own property in its name and incur debts independently of its members.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Minimum 2 Directors (At least 1 Director shall be an Indian Resident)
  • A minimum of one Director must be an Indian resident.
