When a person has a true mission – to change society, to solve a problem, or to leave a legacy that makes a difference in people’s lives, then that mission needs not just passion but a legal identity as well. If you want to work for a meaningful social cause – like education, women empowerment, health awareness, or environment conservation – then NGO under section 8 company registration is the most logical and sustainable route for your mission.
This is not just a certificate, it is a trust-building bridge that connects you:
In this entire journey, you will get free legal advice from our side, in which we do not just do documents or form filing, but structure your entire vision. So that when you work, the tension of any legal paper or compliance never slows you down.
The landscape of non-governmental organizations has undergone significant transformation in recent times. You have to show that you are serious, structured, and accountable. And the best way to show this is Section 8 Company Registration.
Section 8 is a provision of the Companies Act 2013 that allows the formation of an entity whose motive is not to earn profit but to create value in the society.
But the power of this model is not just in being a non-profit. Its real strength is:
In today’s time, for CSR funding, top MNCs prefer not just trust or society registered NGOs, but Section 8 incorporated organizations.
Why?
The reason is that they have proper audits, reports and operational clarity.
This registration makes you a non-profit private limited company. In which you build impact stakeholders, not investors.
When many people read about Section 8 registration documents, they think that it is a technical checklist. But we want to tell you that documents are not just a formality, they are the foundation of your credibility.
The government looks at your application, it does not just look at the address proof or PAN card. It wants to see with what vision you are moving forward.
If your objectives are unclear, and there is no clarity in the MOA, then there are high chances of the approval getting delayed or even rejected.
And this is where our legal advisory gives you next level support. We convert your ideas into legally readable, logically aligned and ROC-friendly language.
In this whole process, you understand that your NGO under section 8 company registration will not just work, it will also operate with the right framework – which will keep you ready for FCRA license, 80G-12A, and even international tie-ups in the future.
The greater your search efforts on Google, the more confusion you are likely to encounter:
Different information everywhere.
What is the reality?
There is no fixed figure for cost. It varies based on the structure, objectives and status of each NGO. But we know that you need a real estimate.
Let’s understand a breakdown — but this time without fancy numbers, on the basis of practical experience:
The average total is around ₹12,000 – ₹15,000, but the most important thing is-
“You’re not just paying for paperwork. You are investing in your NGO’s foundation.”
And if you want a Section 8 structure for a microfinance model, this path is cheaper, simpler and safer than NBFC. You can do activities like micro-lending with full legal backup, just your mission should not be profit-distribution.
The biggest mistake people make is that they start looking for funding after company registration in India. Expert organizations create the ecosystem even before registration.
Your Section 8 company is not just a name or a number, it is also an ecosystem platform where:
Without this legal ecosystem, if you want to apply for grants, there are high chances that you will fail in the impression.
And it is important to understand this part, making an NGO is a work. But scaling an NGO is a vision.

Q1 – Is it mandatory for NGOs also to get audited?
A1 – Of course, Section 8 companies have to be audited every year. This is necessary for both transparency and funding eligibility.
Q2 – What distinguishes Section 8 from a trust?
A2 – Trust is registered at state level, Section 8 at central level. Compliance is loose in trust, Section 8 has tight governance which suits founders more.
Q3 – Can I open a bank account in the name of an NGO? Is this possible?
A3 – Yes absolutely, after Section 8 incorporation, you get COI on the basis of which you can easily open a current account.
Q4 – Can we earn profit in Section 8?
A4 – Yes, you can generate revenue through services, but that profit cannot be divided among the members, remember it will be reinvested in the mission of the NGO.
Q5 – Can I register an NGO from home?
A5 – If utility bills and NOC are available at your address, then you can register an NGO from home.
