Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Section 8 Company and a Trust or Society?

Contact us to know the exact pricing for your requirement. A Trust is governed by the Indian Trusts Act and a Society by the Societies Registration Act — both have fewer compliance obligations but less transparency.

Can a Section 8 Company receive FCRA donations?

Yes, but it must separately register under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) with the Ministry of Home Affairs before receiving foreign contributions.

What tax benefits does a Section 8 Company receive?

Contact us to know the exact pricing for your requirement. Both applications are made to the Income Tax Department after incorporation.

Can directors receive remuneration?

Contact us to know the exact pricing for your requirement. This must be clearly stated in the MOA/AOA.

What are the annual compliance requirements?

Section 8 Companies must hold an AGM, file AOC-4 and MGT-7 with MCA annually, and have accounts audited. FCRA-registered companies have additional annual reporting obligations to MHA.
