Section 8 Company vs Trust vs Society: NGO Structures Compared

by Gaurav Kumar

A Section 8 company offers the strongest governance and credibility, preferred by CSR and foreign donors, but has the most compliance. A trust is simplest to form and control, suited to founder-led charities. A society is member-driven and democratic, suited to associations. All three can get 12A, 80G and FCRA if eligible.

12A vs 80G Registration: Differences Every NGO Should Know

by Gaurav Kumar

12A (now 12AB) registration exempts the NGO's own income from tax when applied to charitable purposes. 80G approval lets donors deduct their donations from taxable income. 12A benefits the NGO; 80G benefits donors. Both are applied for through Form 10A (provisional) and Form 10AB (regular), and most NGOs need both.

Registered vs Unregistered Partnership Firm: Key Differences

by Gaurav Kumar

A registered partnership firm can sue third parties and its partners can enforce the deed in court. An unregistered firm cannot file suits to enforce contracts with third parties, and partners cannot sue each other for rights under the deed, because of Section 69 of the Indian Partnership Act. Both can be taxed and open bank accounts, but registration protects legal rights.

OPC vs Sole Proprietorship: Which Is Right for You?

by Gaurav Kumar

A sole proprietorship is the simplest and cheapest way to run a one-owner business, but the owner has unlimited personal liability and the business has no separate identity. A One Person Company is a separate legal entity with limited liability and better credibility, at the cost of annual audit and ROC filings.

LLP vs Partnership Firm: Differences and Which to Choose

by Gaurav Kumar

An LLP is a separate legal entity where each partner's liability is limited to their contribution, registered with the ROC and filing annual returns. A partnership firm is not a separate entity, partners have unlimited personal liability, and it has no ROC filings. Choose an LLP when liability protection matters; choose a firm for the lowest cost and paperwork.

Private Limited vs LLP vs OPC: Which Should You Choose?

by Gaurav Kumar

Choose a private limited company if you plan to raise equity funding or issue ESOPs; an LLP if you want limited liability with lighter compliance and no outside equity plans; and an OPC if you are a single founder who wants corporate status. All three offer limited liability, but they differ sharply in funding flexibility and compliance load.
