WHAT IS

Section 8 company

Popularly known as Section 8 company is a company registered with charitable objects such as the promotion of Arts, commerce, science, education, sports, protection of the environment, religion, charity, etc. By promoting it as a not-for-profit organization, the Act does not bar the company from profit creation but rather prohibits distributing profit among members. This says that all the income or profit from any activity of the company must be utilized towards charitable purpose for which it is registered.

The charitable company is registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, which provides it special status due to its objects. Compared to other types of companies, Section 8 company enjoys various exemptions and relaxations.

Benefits of

incorporation of Section 8 company

Tax and compliance exemptions

In a sole proprietorship, the proprietor has all the rights to decide what to do and how to operate. A proprietor neither needs to report someone nor take orders from anyone else. There is no interference from a third party. Unlike a corporate firm, there are minimal compliances or disclosure requirements during the whole financial year. Hence, Government interference is also very less.

Separate legal identity

Being registered as a company, it obtains a separate identity apart from its members. Therefore, it can own and hold the assets and liabilities in its own name irrespective of the connection with the members. The change in members or the directors neither affects its existence or the assets & liabilities or rights & obligations.

Limited Liability

A company registered under Section 8 ensures limited liability to its members. The liability of the members is limited only to the extent of the capital subscribed and unpaid. The losses and obligations do not create a charge over the personal properties of members or directors. This helps the promoters to freely run the non-profit organisations.

No corporate titles

Although the company enjoys the benefit of the corporate entity, it is not labelled as the corporate entity. The company does not need to add the suffix “Private Limited” or “Limited” after its name. This exemption is provided so that third parties offer their attention to the company’s purpose and not its status assuming it is profit making organisation.
