For starting a new school – Trust/Society/Section 8 Company to be set up?

Before we proceed we need to know what is a Trust/Society/Section 8 Company, in short these are non-proprietary organizations, which means that they are set up to provide service to the community and not with a profit motive. In India, educational institutions are mandatorily established by a Trust or Society or a Section 8 company. This rule applies to all K-12 schools established within the territory of India.

Now we will understand one by one:

Trust – A trust is a legal set up to entrust a person or a group of persons with the property for the use or benefit of some other person or group of person

Society – It is formed when a collection of people come together for a common charitable purpose. But it is not limited to charitable purposes but may extend to multiple other fields.

Section 8 Companies – It is a company established with the purpose has in its objects the promotion of commerce, art, science, sports, education, research, social welfare, religion, charity, protection of environment or any such other object and whereby they apply any profits into furthering the objective.
