Section 8 Company (NGO) Registration

The most credible structure for a non-profit. We register your Section 8 Company — licence to certificate, so your charitable mission has a strong legal foundation.

Overview

A Section 8 Company is a company formed for charitable, educational, social or similar not-for-profit objectives, where profits are applied to the mission and not distributed to members. It carries far more credibility than a trust or society — valuable for grants, CSR funding and donor trust.

Govyapar handles the full process, the Section 8 licence, name approval, MOA/AOA reflecting your objects, and incorporation — giving your NGO a robust, recognised legal structure.
