Can I register a Section 8 non-profit company in Gwalior and what are the conditions?

Detailed Legal Analysis

A Section 8 company is registered under the Companies Act, 2013 for charitable objects, with profits applied only to its objects and no dividend to members. You must file Form INC-12 with the RoC in Gwalior after obtaining a license under Section 8(1).

Disputes can be referred to the NCLT with appeals to the Madhya Pradesh High Court under Section 422. Such entities in Madhya Pradesh also need to register under Madhya Pradesh Rent Control Act 1960 if they operate commercial premises governed by the Madhya Pradesh Shops and Establishments Act.

Tax exemptions under Sections 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act must be obtained separately. The license can be revoked if objects are violated, so compliance is critical.
