Unlike regular companies, profits are not distributed to members — they are reinvested into the organisation's objectives.
It is the most credible and structured form of NGO in India, offering the benefits of a corporate entity (perpetual succession, limited liability) while enjoying significant tax advantages. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) grants a special licence to operate as a Section 8 Company.
