Section 8 Company Registration in Chennai
A Section 8 Company is a legal form of Non-Profit Organization (NPO) registered under the Companies Act, 2013. These companies are established with the objective of promoting charitable causes such as social welfare, education, environment protection, science, sports, religion, art, research, and other socially beneficial activities.
