12A & 80G Registration – Tax Benefits for NGOs and Donors

To promote charitable and non-profit activities, the Indian Income Tax Act offers tax exemptions through 12A and 80G registrations. These registrations are essential for NGOs, trusts, and Section 8 companies that want to claim income tax exemption and offer tax deduction benefits to their donors.

At India Accountant, we help you obtain 12A & 80G registrations smoothly, ensuring your NGO can focus on social impact while staying compliant.

What is 12A Registration?

12A Registration allows a non-profit organization to claim exemption from income tax on surplus income. Without this, the NGO’s income is taxable.

Benefits of 12A:

  • Tax exemption on income used for charitable purposes
  • Improved credibility with donors and funding agencies
  • Mandatory to obtain other government approvals and grants

What is 80G Registration?

80G Registration enables donors to claim a tax deduction (up to 50% or 100%) on the amount they donate to your NGO. It makes your organization more attractive to individual and corporate donors.

Benefits of 80G:

  • Encourages donations with tax-saving benefits
  • Builds trust and increases donor base
  • Required for CSR funding and government collaborations
