Do you intend to establish an NGO for social, educational, or charitable reasons? One of the most reliable and lawful ways to form a non-profit organisation in India is through a Section 8 Company.
In this article, we’ll go over the definition of a Section 8 NGO, the paperwork needed, its main advantages, and how Legal Darbar may assist you in completing the registration procedure efficiently.

We assist MCA in filing the Reserve Unique Name (RUN) form. In addition to reflecting your objective, the name should conclude with “Foundation,” “Trust,” or “Association.”
We acquire each director’s Director Identification Number (DIN) and Digital Signature (DSC).
To acquire the licence under Section 8, we draft and submit the INC-12 form to the Registrar of Companies (RoC).
We submit SPICe+ Parts A and B, the MoA (INC-13), the AoA (INC-31), and any other necessary attachments as soon as we have the license.
Following approval, your NGO is prepared to legally operate as a Section 8 Company when the RoC issues your Certificate of Incorporation.
