Features of Section8 company :

  • A Section 8 company comprises of the following distinct features that most other kinds of

  • companies do not have:

  • • i. Charitable objectives: Section 8 companies do not aim to make profits. Their objectives are

  • purely charitable in nature. They aim to further causes like science, culture, research, sports,

  • religion, etc.

  • • ii. No minimum share capital: Section 8 companies, unlike all other companies, do not require a

  • prescribed minimum paid-up share capital.

  • • iii. Limited liability: Members of these companies can only have limited liability. Their liabilities

  • cannot be unlimited in any case.

  • • iv. Government license: Such companies can function only if they have the Central Government’s

  • license. The Government can revoke this license as well.

  • • v. Privileges: Since these companies possess charitable objectives, the Companies Act has

  • accorded several benefits and exemptions to them.

  • • vi. Firms as members: Apart from individuals and associations of persons, Section 8 also allows

  • firms to be members of these companies.
