From ₹19,999/-* + govt fees

A Section 8 company is the corporate structure for not-for-profit organisations in India — it carries the credibility of a company while dedicating all its income to charitable objects.

We manage the full Section 8 incorporation — from DSC, DIN and name approval to the Central Government licence and charitable MOA/AOA — at a fixed professional fee, with government fees charged separately.

What a Section 8 company is

A Section 8 company, formed under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, is a company licensed to promote commerce, art, science, sports, education, research, social welfare, religion, charity or protection of the environment. Its profits and income are applied solely towards its objects, and no dividend is paid to members.

It offers the governance, limited liability and credibility of a registered company, which makes it the preferred vehicle for NGOs that plan to raise grants, receive CSR funding or apply for FCRA in future.

Who should choose a Section 8 company

  • Founders launching a structured, credible NGO or foundation.
  • Social enterprises that want corporate governance for a charitable mission.
  • Groups intending to raise CSR or grant funding that require a company structure.
  • Organisations planning to seek 12A, 80G and FCRA registration later.
