Non- Profit Company Registration

A company can be defined as a natural legal entity that is formed by an association or a group of people who work together towards achieving a common objective. It can be in the form a commercial enterprise or an industrial enterprise. It has some of important features such as separate legal entity, perpetual succession, limited liability and a common seal. However, for the purposes of taxation, registration and ascertaining the liability of the company, it has been further divided into other types.

A Non-Profit Company, also called as a Section 8 Company is established mainly for promoting commerce, art, science, religion, charity or any other useful object. The term Non-Profit does not imply that the Company cannot generate profits or income, it only means that the profits or any other income derived from it is applied for promoting the objects of the Company and is not used for paying dividend to its members. A non-profit organisation can be registered as a Society, Trust and Section 8 Company. Usually, Trusts and Societies are governed by State laws and are not controlled by Central laws. It takes around 30-40 days to incorporate a Section 8 Company.
