Incorporation of Section 8 Companies (Not for Profit Organisation) gets simplified

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (the MCA) vide its notification dated 7 June 2019 has amended the Companies Incorporation Rules, 2014 to simplify the incorporation procedure. This shall be effective from 15 August 2019. Following are the key changes made:

  1. Any person who is desirous of incorporating a company under section 8 i.e., Not for Profit Organisation, under the Companies Act, 2013 can make an application in e-Form INC-32. No separate application for license is required to be made. Prior to this amendment, the applicant was required to make an application in Form INC 12 to obtain license and thereafter application for Incorporation was required to be made.
  2. Post scrutiny of the documents, the Certificate of Incorporation for Section 8 companies will now be issued by Registrar of Companies in Form INC-11 which earlier was issued as a licence under Form -16 or Form-17 as the case may be.

With these changes now the process of Incorporation of Section 8 Companies will be simplified and fast-tracked.
