Overview
A Section 8 Company is a not-for-profit entity formed under the Companies Act, 2013, with a focus on charitable or social causes. These companies operate for the promotion of commerce, education, arts, charity, and environmental protection, among others. While they enjoy several tax benefits, they are required to reinvest their profits back into their stated objectives and are prohibited from distributing dividends to their members.
