Your problem has two limbs.As per companies act, section 8 companies cannot have business interest.However,Commercial activity related to main object of section 8 company can carry those activity for a fee.For eg :- Industry associations, though registered as section 8 company and carry out those commercial activities which are done to attain the objects of the company. Ideally, you should form section 8 company for social activities and normal company for commercial activities.
