Compliance handover

Leave the registration journey with a practical filing calendar, next-action checklist and transparent support route.

Section 8 structure desk

Purpose first: profits support the objects, not member dividends

A Section 8 Company is built for permitted non-profit objects. Its constitutional documents, proposed activities, income model and governance must tell one consistent story.

1

Define objects

Convert the social purpose into clear, permitted objects.

2

Build governance

Confirm promoters, directors, decision rights and registered office.

3

Prepare licence file

Organise declarations, projections and constitutional drafts.

4

Handover compliance

Map accounts, Board, annual MCA, tax and activity-specific obligations.

Common fit

Education, charity, social welfare or similar permitted objects
Institutional governance is needed
Surplus will be reapplied to the objects

Key decision points

It is not a dividend-distribution vehicle
Tax exemption is separate from incorporation
Donations, FCRA or 12AB/80G need separate eligibility work
Structure snapshot

Know the entry conditions before preparing documents

These are the principal planning checks for this structure. The final filing route still depends on the promoters, activity, ownership, registered-office State and the law / portal position on the filing date.

Objects
Permitted non-profit purposes

Commerce, art, science, sports, education, research, welfare, charity, environment and similar permitted objects may qualify.

Private form
2 subscribers · 2 directors

A Section 8 company can use a private-company form when the proposed governance fits it.

Public form
7 subscribers · 3 directors

Public-company minimum people and the wider governance framework apply when that form is chosen.

Surplus
Reapplied to objects

Profits or other income support the stated objects; dividend distribution to members is prohibited.

After incorporation

Registration opens the company—compliance keeps it ready

BizSarthi hands over a practical action map so banking, capital, records, licences and recurring filings do not begin as disconnected tasks.

Choose only what your business needs

Selections are carried into the callback and WhatsApp request, so the team can review the exact plan instead of asking you to repeat everything.

State selection creates a dedicated page and identifies the correct stamp, address and local-registration review route.
