What Are 12A & 80G Registrations?

Firstly, registration under Section 12A allows a charitable or religious trust or institution to claim income tax exemption. Then, Section 80G registration permits donors to your trust to claim deductions on their taxable income. Moreover, both registrations are processed via the Income Tax e-filing portal. Consequently, your NGO or trust operates with full tax compliance.

Applicability & Eligibility

• 12A Registration:
  Therefore, any entity—trust, society, or Section 8 company—engaged in charitable or religious activities qualifies.
• 80G Registration:
  Moreover, entities with 12A status can apply for 80G to make donations tax-deductible.
• Activity Conditions:
  Additionally, your objectives must align with the Income Tax Act’s guidelines on relief of poverty, education, medical relief, or other specified charitable purposes.
• Organization Structure:
  Furthermore, registration applies to entities with proper governing documents, governing body, and audited accounts.

Uses & Benefits

• Tax Exemption (12A):
  Consequently, your trust’s income from voluntary contributions and property rental becomes exempt.
• Donor Incentives (80G):
  Therefore, donors receive 50% or 100% deduction on donations, boosting fundraising appeal.
• Credibility:
  Moreover, these registrations signal transparency to stakeholders, corporate donors, and grant agencies.
• Compliance Ease:
  Subsequently, you simplify annual ITR filings by availing regular exemption provisions.
