Section 8 Company Registration in Delhi

As India's capital and one of its largest corporate and trading hubs, Delhi has among the highest concentrations of personal loan, consumer finance, and MSME lending demand in the country. Any founder in Delhi planning a non-profit built for scale and institutional partnerships should consider Section 8 Company registration.

StartRight4U supports Delhi-based applicants through every stage of Section 8 Company registration and post-incorporation compliance.

Section 8 Company Registration — What It Involves

Registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, this structure exists specifically for organisations pursuing charitable objects — education, social welfare, science, sport, or environmental causes — while committing to reinvest any surplus rather than distribute it as dividends. It sits at the intersection of a trust's charitable purpose and a company's formal corporate governance.

Why This Structure Appeals to Growing NGOs

A Section 8 Company answers to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and follows Companies Act-level standards for governance, disclosure, and audit — a level of institutional formality trusts and societies don't carry. That's often exactly what's needed to work with corporate CSR budgets, foreign donors, or government programs that expect a formally governed entity.

Eligibility Criteria

• At least two directors for a private limited structure, three for public limited
• A well-defined charitable object stated in the Memorandum of Association
• No intent to pay dividends or distribute profits to members

Documents Required

• Identity and address proof for directors and subscribers

The Registration Process, Step by Step

2. Reserve the proposed company name via RUN or SPICe+ Part A
3. File Form INC-12 for the Section 8 license, with MOA, AOA, and declarations attached
4. Submit SPICe+ Part B for incorporation once the license is granted
