Section 8 Company Registration

A Section 8 company is a non-profit incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 — profits must be reinvested in its objects, “Private Limited” is dropped from the name, and it enjoys the credibility that trusts and societies often lack with CSR donors and government programs. FilingBase handles the licence application, incorporation, and the follow-on 12A and 80G income-tax registrations that let donors claim deductions.

Choose it over a trust or society when you want national recognition, structured governance, and eligibility for CSR funding — corporate donors overwhelmingly prefer Section 8 companies for compliance-vetted giving. Budget the longer timeline: the licence step makes it slower than a regular incorporation.
