What is a Section 8 Company?

The term section 8 company refers to any company within the research, social welfare, sports, charity, art, science, education, religion or environmental protection industries, provided it is functioning as a charitable or a not-for-profit organisation.In other words, the profits earned by the company go towards enhancing their work. A section 8 company is typically regulated by Indian Companies Act, 2013.

While some people do confuse section 8 companies with Trusts, it’s important to understand that even though the two may function in a similar manner, there is a major difference that sets them apart – the company registration of a section 8 company falls under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, while the company registration of a Trust falls under State Government regulations.

Advantages of a Section 8 Company

There is no requirement to hold annual or Extra Ordinary Meeting. Only the resolution shall be communicated to the members. Only one Board Meeting is required to be done in each half of the calendar year. The provisions of Section 174 of the Companies Act, 2013 relating to quorum of meetings for Board is not applicable on OPC. 

Company name

If you are not interested in the registration of a pvt. Ltd, then note that section 8 companies can be registered without the use of these words in the name.
