Book Free Consultation

A Section 8 company is the corporate form of a not-for-profit. It carries the governance discipline of a company — a board, audited accounts, statutory filings — while its income and property are applied to its objects rather than distributed to members.

N D Savla & Associates handles Section 8 incorporation for promoters in Nashik and across Maharashtra, from the licence application through to incorporation and the registrations needed for tax exemption and donor deduction.

The objects clause carries most of the weight. It has to establish a genuinely charitable or public purpose and it is read again later by the tax authorities when exemption is sought, so it should be drafted once, properly, at the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Section 8 company is governed by company law with a board, audit and statutory filings, which many donors and grant makers regard as a more transparent structure than a trust or society.
No. Income and property must be applied towards the objects of the company and cannot be distributed as dividend to its members.
Yes, a licence is required and the incorporation proceeds on the basis of that licence and the objects approved.
No. Exemption under the income tax provisions requires separate registration, and approval for donor deduction is a further separate application.
Reasonable remuneration for services rendered may be permissible subject to the conditions applicable, but it must not amount to a distribution of profits.
Breach of the conditions can lead to revocation of the licence and consequences for the company's exempt status, so the conditions need to be monitored.
