A Section 8 Company is a non-profit organization incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, for promoting charitable, educational, social, scientific, cultural, environmental, or religious objectives. It is ideal for NGOs, charitable institutions, social enterprises, and organizations working for public welfare without distributing profits to members.

The registration process generally takes 15–25 working days, depending on document verification, regulatory approvals, company name approval, and incorporation by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
