Philanthropy is not about money, it’s about feeling the pain of others and caring enough about their needs to help. If you are in for a generous cause, we would definitely support you in the best possible way. This post will guide you everything about Society Registration

The idea of incorporating a non-profit-making company in India is not a new term as it has been in the business community for ages. In the Companies Act 2013, it is mentioned in section 8 and this is why it is popularly known as the Section 8 Company. The primary objective of incorporating such a company is to encourage science, sports, art, education, research, social welfare, religion, and environmental protection, etc. where profit doesn’t play any vital role.

As far as its structure is concerned, it is much like a trust or society as it is registered under the Central Government’s Ministry of Corporate Affairs. A Section 8 Company enjoys many privileges and exemptions under Company Law.

A Non-profit Organization is a company that has in its objects the promotion of commerce, art, science, sports, education, research, social welfare, religion, charity, protection of the environment, or any such other object;
Intends to apply its profits, if any, or other income in promoting its objects; and
Intends to prohibit the payment of any dividend to its members

We make it easy for you to incorporate a Section 8 company by providing all necessary legal and professional support in respect to incorporation and business management. We have a special discount for those working for the welfare of society.

What are the Advantages of Society Registration?

Ease of Formation

A Section 8 company can be formed by two persons only, by complying with the prescribed formalities of the Companies Act. Many privileges and exemptions under Company Law. A registered partnership firm can be a member in its own capacity.

Limited Liability

The greatest benefit of Section 8 Company is limited liability. If any liability arises then its member is not personally affected; members are only liable for unpaid shares held by them and not more than that. Being the biggest advantage with this type of company, it means that the owners are not personally responsible for business debts and obligations of the incorporation.

Separate Legal Entity

This is the most prominent quality of a Section 8 Company. It refers to the statement that the company and its members are completely distinctive. The biggest advantage of a section 8 company is that its identity is distinct from that of its members. A company is a separate person having its own rights & Obligations.

Greater Flexibility

A Section 8 company is required to perform lesser legal formalities as compared to a public company. It enjoys special exemptions and privileges under the company law.

Perpetual Succession

Death, insolvency and insanity, etc of any of the members does not affect the continuity of the company. Thus the life of the company does not depend upon the life of its members. In case of the death of the owner or transfer of shares, your business won’t get affected. There will be no effect on the firm’s continuance.

What are the Tax Benefits of Society Registration?

A Section 8 company is not required to publish its accounts or file several documents. Therefore, it is in a better position than a public company to maintain business secrets.

How long does it take to form a Society?

A Section 8 company can be formed within 10 days, and if documents are ready, just a week is enough.

TAN Registration and TDS Return Filing: Full Guide

Let us tell you what is TDS, whether you required TAN registration, also, if you need to do TDS Return Filing or not.

When you offer a ‘prasaad’ in the place of pilgrimage, have you observed, they slice out a piece of it before you can take it with you? Later they also give it back to you.

Same principle! The one making your payment also slices out a part of your payment and credits it into the government’s account. That amount gets credited in your Permanent Account Number, and you can adjust it with your tax payable or claim a refund later. Simple!

It is mandatory for those liable to deduct TDS to credit TDS and file quarterly TDS return before the due date, violating which, invites interests and penalties. The tax shall be paid at the rates prescribed by the government. Click here to know TDS rates.

TDS Payment: Due Date

For non-government assessee:

S. No	Particulars	Due Date
1.	Tax Deducted every month, except March	7^th of next month
2.	Tax Deducted in March	30^th April

All the corporate assesses and those covered under Tax Audit under section 44AB of the Income Tax Act should deposit TDS online mandatorily. Others can also deposit the same with banks.

Let Greenwolf Advisors tell you another secret. You can pay TDS quarterly also, if Assessing Officer, with prior approval of the Joint Commissioner, permits the same. In that case, TDS due dates are:

S. No	Quarter ends on	Due Date
1.	30^th June	7^th July
2.	30^th September	7^th October
3.	31^st December	7^th January
4.	31^st March	30^th April

What if I don’t pay TDS?

Well, 1.5% interest per month awaits you then. Also, the interest will be calculated from the month of date of deduction till the date amount is deposited with the government. Pay attention! Date from which amount is deducted, and not the due date.

Example: If you deducted TDS on 20^th January and instead of depositing before the due date of 7^th February, you deposited the same on 15^th February, then the interest will be calculated from? The month of January, and not 7^th February. Pheww..government is mean if you don’t pay on time.

Ok, I paid TDS every month before due date, now what? File TDS return every quarter. Click here to check due dates for TDS returns and what happens if you don’t file the same.
