Highest Credibility
Governed by the Companies Act, 2013 and regulated by MCA — Section 8 Companies enjoy unmatched legal credibility among donors, government, and corporates.
Tax Exemptions
Get 12A income tax exemption on company surplus and 80G certification so your donors can claim tax deductions on contributions made to you.
Foreign Funding via FCRA
With FCRA registration, your Section 8 Company can receive donations and grants from foreign individuals, foundations, and organisations legally.
CSR Funding Eligible
Corporates in India are mandated to spend 2% of profits on CSR. Section 8 Companies are among the most preferred vehicles for CSR partnerships.

Profits cannot be distributed among members — all income must be applied solely to the stated charitable or social objectives of the company.
Perpetual Existence
A Section 8 Company has a continuous legal existence, unaffected by changes in directors or members — ensuring your mission lives on beyond its founders.

Every application is prepared and verified by qualified Advocates — not just data entry operators. Legal accuracy guaranteed.

"We wanted to set up an educational NGO and were told by others it would take months. Regalwhiz had our Section 8 Company incorporated in just 22 days. Their team was incredibly responsive and handled all MCA filings flawlessly."
"Regalwhiz not only incorporated our Section 8 Company but also got us 12A and 80G approvals within 3 months. Our first CSR cheque arrived just 4 months after registration. Outstanding professional service."
"I compared 4 services before choosing Regalwhiz. Their pricing was transparent, their process was clear, and — most importantly — they assigned a dedicated CS who answered every question I had within hours."
"We were confused between a Trust, Society, and Section 8 Company. Regalwhiz patiently explained the differences and helped us choose Section 8 for its governance strength. Best decision we made for our NGO."
"Second engagement with Regalwhiz — first for our private limited company, now for our Section 8 CSR arm. Consistent quality, transparent pricing, and zero hidden charges. They are our go-to legal team."
"We needed FCRA registration after incorporating our Section 8 Company to receive international donations. Regalwhiz handled both — incorporation and FCRA — seamlessly. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their NGO."
A Section 8 Company is a not-for-profit company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013. It is considered the most credible NGO structure in India because it is regulated by MCA with strict compliance and governance requirements. Unlike a Trust or Society, a Section 8 Company has a perpetual existence, a formal board of directors, mandatory audit requirements, and higher accountability — making it the preferred structure for receiving CSR funding and international grants.
A Section 8 Company requires a minimum of 2 directors if incorporated as a private company, or 3 directors if incorporated as a public company. There is no maximum limit prescribed under the Companies Act. Our team will recommend the appropriate structure based on your organisation's goals and governance requirements.
Typically 20–25 working days from the date all documents are submitted and verified. This includes DSC, DIN, name approval, MOA/AOA drafting, SPICe+ filing, and receipt of the Certificate of Incorporation from MCA. The timeline may vary slightly based on MCA processing queues and the completeness of documents provided.
No. There is no minimum paid-up capital requirement for a Section 8 Company. This is one of its key advantages — you can incorporate it with any amount of capital based on your operational needs. The company does not issue shares for profit, and all funds must be applied toward the stated charitable objectives.
Yes, but only after obtaining FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) registration or prior permission from the Ministry of Home Affairs. A Section 8 Company must first be operational for at least 3 years before applying for regular FCRA registration (prior permission can be sought earlier for specific projects). Regalwhiz assists with FCRA applications after incorporation.
Section 8 Companies have more compliance obligations than Trusts or Societies. Requirements include annual board meetings, mandatory audit by a Chartered Accountant, filing of financial statements (AOC-4) and annual returns (MGT-7) with MCA, income tax return filing, and maintenance of statutory registers. Non-compliance can result in penalties and even strike-off. Regalwhiz offers comprehensive annual compliance packages to keep your company fully compliant.
