Section 8 Company Registration Consultant in Delhi
A Section 8 company is a non-profit company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013. In Delhi it is filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and handled by RoC Delhi-I or RoC Delhi-II, depending on the district of the registered office. ICP Legal prepares the MOA and AOA, files the application, manages Registrar queries and then guides 12A, 80G and CSR-1. We serve Delhi from our Noida office.
Key Facts
- Law: Companies Act, 2013, Section 8.
- Two Delhi Registrars of Companies since the 16 February 2026 restructuring.
- Generally at least two directors and two members for a private Section 8 company.
- Profits must be applied to the objects. No dividends to members.
- Annual compliance: audit, ROC filings and meetings.
Which Registrar your Delhi address falls under
RoC Delhi-I covers South, South West, New Delhi, South East and East Delhi districts. RoC Delhi-II covers Central, West, North, North West, North East and Shahdara. The district of your registered office decides it. If you are in a border locality, we check the address against MCA data before filing.
Before this restructuring, Delhi and Haryana shared one Registrar. Older web pages that still say so are out of date.
When a Section 8 company fits
It suits organisations that want a separate legal identity, formal governance and a structure corporate funders know well. It does not suit founders who cannot commit to annual compliance. For a comparison with a trust or society, see our NGO Registration Consultant in Delhi page.
