What is a Section 8 Company?

Section 8 company of the Companies Act 2013 is the company defined in section 25 under the old Companies Act. These companies can work anywhere in the country. The company registered as section 8 company is a legal evolution of an NPO/NGO i.e. Non-ProfitOrganization. In simple words, it is a business structure with NO profit motive.
As per Section 8(1a, 1b, 1c) of the Companies Act, 2013, a Section 8 Company is a Company which:

  • Is incorporated to promote a public cause such as social welfare, commerce, art, religion, science, education, research, protection of the environment, charity, sports or any such object
  • It intends to apply all its profits, income, or other earnings, in promoting the above public causes.
  • Does not pay any dividend or income to its members.

Section 8 companies can be registered as a private or public limited company. Although an NPO/NGO defined under section 8 of the Companies Act 2013 reaps the benefits of limited liability BUT cannot use the word ‘LIMITED’in its name.
