What is 12A & 80G Registration?

Section 12A and Section 80G of the Income Tax Act provide essential financial boosts to NGOs. 12A registration makes an NGO™s entire income tax-free, ensuring that every rupee received is spent on social causes rather than taxes.

80G registration is a hallmark of credibility that allows donors to deduct up to 50% of their donation amount from their total taxable income. This registration is often a non-negotiable requirement for obtaining government grants and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds.

Advantages of Tax Registration

Maximize your NGO™s financial efficiency and donor outreach.

Full Tax Exemption

Under Section 12A, all surplus income of the NGO is 100% exempt from income tax, provided it's used for charitable purposes.

Incentivize Donors

The 80G certificate ensures your donors get tax deductions, making them more likely to contribute larger sums to your NGO.

CSR & Govt Funding

These registrations are mandatory for receiving CSR funds from corporates and for eligibility in most government social welfare schemes.

Eligibility Criteria

Essential requirements to apply:

  • Registered NGO: Must be a registered Trust, Society, or Section 8 Company.
  • Charitable Purpose: Objectives must be social welfare (not private or religious specific).
  • Proper Records: NGO must maintain regular books of accounts and audit reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is 12A registration one-time or annual?
Initially, you get a "Provisional" registration valid for 3 years. After that (or when charitable activities start), you must apply for "Regular" registration, which is valid for 5 years and requires renewal.
2. Can a religious trust apply for 80G?
Generally, 80G is only for "Charitable" trusts. If a trust is purely religious and for a specific community, it may not be eligible for 80G, although it can still get 12A tax exemption.
3. Is it mandatory to get both 12A and 80G?
12A is mandatory if you want your NGO's income to be tax-free. 80G is not mandatory but highly recommended if you plan to raise donations from the public or corporates who expect tax benefits.
