What is Section 8 NGO?
Section 8 of Companies Act 2013 enables registration of a non-profit organization for promoting commerce, art, science, sports, education, research, social welfare, religion, charity, or any other useful object. These companies enjoy special tax exemptions under the Income Tax Act.
Section 8 companies operate without the word "Limited" in their name and cannot distribute profits as dividends. They must apply all profits towards their charitable objectives. Upon receiving Section 8 license from MCA, companies get 80G and 12A certifications for tax benefits.
