Frequently asked questions
What is a Section 8 company used for?
Section 8 companies promote charity, education, art, science, sports, or social welfare. Profits are reinvested in objects—not distributed as dividends. We align your objects clause and licence application with MCA expectations.
How long does Section 8 incorporation take?
Licence scrutiny and object review often take longer than a normal company—typically several weeks to a few months depending on queries. Complete documentation and clear programme narratives speed approval.
Can a Section 8 company pay salaries to founders?
Reasonable remuneration for work is allowed within rules; surplus must advance charitable objects. We structure governance and expense policies so audits and grant due diligence stay smooth.
Is FCRA required for foreign donations?
Foreign contributions need FCRA registration separately from incorporation. Domestic CSR and grants follow different rules—we outline the compliance stack for your funding mix.
Section 8 vs trust vs society—which is better?
Section 8 suits scalable NGOs wanting company-law governance. Trusts and societies follow state registrar routes. We compare registration effort, foreign funding, and donor preferences before you choose.
