Overview

What this is

A Section 8 company files the same annual returns and financial statements as any other company, and carries conditions attached to its licence: income applied only to its objects, no dividend to members, and prior approval for certain changes. Where it also claims income-tax exemption or receives foreign contributions, those registrations bring their own filings. We look after the whole set rather than one corner of it.

Scope

What’s included

  • Annual return and financial statement filings with the Registrar
  • Board and general meeting documentation, including minutes and resolutions
  • Check that the licence conditions on application of income are being observed
  • Coordination of the income-tax exemption filings that go with the registration
  • A compliance calendar covering the MCA, income-tax and, where applicable, foreign contribution dates

Everything above is covered by the professional fee. Anything outside it is quoted before we start it, never after.

Who it suits

Not-for-profit companies licensed under Section 8 that want their MCA and exemption compliance kept together.

If that does not describe you, say so before you commit — there is usually a lighter filing that does the job, and we would rather point you at it.

Cost

What it costs

Our professional fee

Quoted on scope

We have not published a fee for this one. What it takes varies enough with the specifics that a number here would be a guess, and a guess is the one thing a fee should never be. Tell us what you need and you get a fixed figure in writing — before any work starts, and before you owe us anything.

Government & statutory fees

At actuals

Charged separately from our fee and paid to the relevant authority. They vary by state, by authorised capital, and by the slab you fall into, so we confirm the exact figures once we know your specifics.

We do not quote the two together as one number. They are charged by different parties and only one of them is ours. You will have both figures in writing before you decide.

Process

How it runs

  1. Scope and quote

    We confirm what you actually need, what our professional fee covers, and which government fees will apply in your case — in writing, before any work begins.

  2. Documents

    We send a checklist, then review everything you send back before it goes anywhere. Most delays start with a document, not with the authority.

  3. Preparation and filing

    We prepare and file the Section 8 Company Compliance paperwork, then track the application and respond to any queries raised on it.

  4. Handover

    You receive every acknowledgement and certificate the authority issues, along with a plain-English note on what falls due next and when.

Processing time is set by the relevant authority, not by us. We can file promptly and follow up, but the approval itself sits with the department handling it.

AI advisor

Ask before you commit to anything.

Ask about the fee, the documents, or whether Section 8 Company Compliance is the right filing for your situation — in plain English, and you get the answer before you get a recommendation.

The advisor gives general guidance, not binding legal or tax advice, and it does not file anything on your behalf. A chartered accountant reviews anything that matters.
