Section 8 Company (NGO) Registration in Pune — Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Section 8 Company in India?+
A Section 8 Company (under Section 8 of the Companies Act 2013) is a non-profit company formed for promoting charitable objects like education, arts, science, commerce, sports, social welfare, religion, charity, or environmental protection. It cannot distribute profits to members — all income must be applied toward its stated objectives.
What is the difference between Section 8 Company, Trust, and Society?+
A Section 8 Company offers more structure and credibility than a Trust or Society — it has mandatory directors, statutory compliance, and a registered office, making it more accountable to donors and foreign funders. FCRA registration (for foreign donations) is also easier for Section 8 companies.
How much does Section 8 Company registration cost?+
MakeItLegit charges ₹1,499 for Section 8 Company registration. Government fees are waived for Section 8 companies. The slightly higher price versus Pvt Ltd reflects the additional Central Government licence application step.
Can a Section 8 Company get 80G tax exemption?+
Yes, but 80G registration is a separate application to the Income Tax Department after incorporation. It allows donors to claim a deduction of 50% of their donation from their taxable income, making your NGO much more attractive for corporate and HNI donors.
Can founders receive a salary from a Section 8 Company?+
Yes. Directors and employees of a Section 8 Company can receive a reasonable salary for their services. What is prohibited is distributing profits as dividends or bonuses to members. A working salary for genuine work is permitted.
Can a Section 8 Company accept foreign donations?+
Not immediately. To receive foreign contributions, a Section 8 Company must separately apply for FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) registration. FCRA registration typically requires the company to be at least 3 years old and have a track record of charitable activities.
