When incorporating a Section 8 Company (companies intended to promote commerce, art, science, sports, education, research, social welfare, religion, charity, protection of the environment, or any other useful object), the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) play a crucial role. Here’s what you typically include in the 1st point (1st Point Alteration) of the AOA (as per INC-31 form):
1. **Name of the Company**: Specify the exact name of the Section 8 Company as approved by the Registrar of Companies (ROC). This name should align with the guidelines and regulations set forth by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) for the naming of companies.
Example:
- "The name of the company is XYZ Foundation (or XYZ Society or XYZ Association) Pvt. Ltd."
Ensure that the name reflects the nature of the company as a Section 8 entity and is not misleading in any manner. It's essential to comply with the regulations regarding the format and specific requirements for naming Section 8 companies.
If you are unsure about the specific wording or details to include, consulting with a company secretary or legal advisor who specializes in corporate law can provide you with precise guidance tailored to your jurisdiction's requirements.
