What is Section 8 NGO Registration?

Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 allows individuals or organizations to register a non-profit company dedicated to social welfare, education, healthcare, arts, culture, religion, and other charitable activities. Unlike regular companies, Section 8 NGOs do not distribute profits to members; instead, they reinvest earnings to fulfill their objectives.

Once registered, an NGO under Section 8 receives legal recognition, tax benefits, and eligibility for government and foreign grants.

2. Tax Exemption: Eligibility for tax benefits under Section 12A & 80G.

3. Limited Liability: Directors and members are not personally liable for NGO debts.
