HOW DOES IT WORKS?
BENEFITS OF SECTION 8 NGO COMPANY REGISTRATION
A Section 8 Company, also known as a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO), is established to promote various social causes such as art, science, sports, religion, commerce, education, research activities, charity, or any other beneficial social cause. It is essential that any profits or donations received by the company are utilized solely for the promotion of its objectives and no dividends are paid to its members or owners.
The term “No Profit” does not indicate that the company cannot generate income or profit. Rather, it signifies that any income earned should be used for enhancing the mission of the company and not distributed among its promoters. This allows the company to earn profits while ensuring that its promoters do not directly benefit financially.
