30 October 2020 We are a Section 8 Company and are planning on receiving funds from stakeholders (companies, societies, trusts, individuals) since our activities will benefit them. Should we receive them as donations or in some other prescribed format? Also, what document(s) should we demand along with the check (resolution etc) for our safeguard? Will appreciate if the format could be shared too.

30 October 2020 Receive it as donation if you are 12A registered charitable company. Cheque with covering letter is enough for donation to charitable activities.

30 October 2020 We are not 12A registered and are not even planning to get one anytime soon. We heard that there are limitations to how much a company could donate (not sure if the same applies to individuals and or societies, trusts etc).. hence we were concerned about simply accepting the funds.
