Moving from the Companies Act 1956 to the Companies Act 2013 is like shifting from your old house to a new one. All the provisions become changed with new Act, 2013. Due to new act many amendments were introduce by Central Government from time to time by Notification, Amendments etc. Same like this many amendments have been made in last approximately 4 years in relation to Incorporation of New Company.

Introduction

The concept of Non-Profit making Company is quite old in India. In erstwhile, Companies Act, 1956 it was regulated by Section 25 and that is why it was popular as Section 25 Company. However in Companies Act 2013 provisions related to Non-Profit making Company are given in Section 8 read with Rule 19 and 20 of Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014.

Under Indian law, 3 legal forms exist for NGO or Non-Profit Organizations:

1. Trusts

2. Societies

3. Section 8 Companies

Due to better laws, Section 8 Companies have the most reliable strongest organizational structure

1. Indian Trusts have no central law.

2. Indian Societies have different legal and institutional frameworks from state to state.

3. Indian Companies (incl. Sec 8 companies), have one uniform law across the country – Companies Act, 2013.

It is this robust Act that regulates the formation, management and accountability of a Section 25 company, thus making it more closely regulated and monitored than trusts and societies, and recognized all over the world.

Through this article we shall talk about the basic provisions and procedure for incorporation of a Non-Profit creation Company as given in Section 8 read with Rule 19 and 20 of Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014.

Section 8 Company or a Non-Profit organization (NPO) is a Company established for promoting commerce, art, science, religion, charity or any other useful object, provided the profits, if any, or other income is applied for promoting only the objects of the Company and no dividend is paid to its members.

A NPO/NGO can be formed for promotion of any useful object like sports, education, research activities etc. The term Non Profit does not mean that the Company cannot generate profit or income, but it essentially means applying the income for further promotion of the object and not for distributing it to the promoters. It means that the Company can earn profits but the promoters cannot be benefited out of those profits.

Corresponding provisions of the Companies Act, 1956: Section 25

Corresponding provisions of the English Companies Act, 2006: Sections 42, 181 and 226

A Company Incorporated Under Section 8 of The Companies Act 2013 Is:

    Subject: maintenance of Commercial building where all are shops doing trading or office business.

    In the said building 80% shops are owned by 4 people. and remaing 20% shops are owned by 36 people.

    If we form a society, all owners will have equal voting rignhts though investment in the property is not equal but there is substantial difference.

    Therefore, in order to get varied voting rights as per the investment / shareholding in the property in all matters related to the maintenance of the building and its upkeep, which form of non profit making association is suitable?

    While forming association under companies Act 2013, the formation and day to day running is said to be complex and the penalty under section 447 of Companies Act is scary.

    Kindly advise for forming a nonprofit making association for the maintenance of the society while retaining the voting rights as per shareholding.

  2. Deepak Bhandari says:

    Dear CS Divesh,
    We have got the License for Sec 8 Company from ROC.

    Now we have to file Spice (INC-32). The problem is the RUN SRN is coming invalid now. It is obvious the RUN SRN has crossed the 20 days period. Because INC-12 approval takes a longer time.

    What to be done in such case? Moreover, as you put the RUN SRN it shows, not applicable for this form. It was showing from the very first day, RUN was approved.

    Regards,
    Deepak Bhandari
