What this covers
Section 8 company compliance needs company law filings, proper books, audit, donor and grant records, tax registrations and restrictions linked to non-profit objects.
- Section 8 companies must maintain books and file applicable ROC annual forms like other companies, with non-profit object restrictions.
- Audit, board records, member details, grants, donation receipts and utilisation records should be maintained carefully.
- Income tax exemption, 12A/80G, CSR eligibility and FCRA issues are separate checks and should not be assumed from Section 8 status alone.
- Ask whether the expert covers ROC, accounting, audit, tax exemption and donor reporting separately.
