12A & 80G Registration — Approved. Exempt. Donor-Ready.
Section 12AB registration for income tax exemption and 80G approval for donor deductions — we prepare your application, compile documents, and pursue approval from NFAC.
Contact UsRegistration under Section 12A/12AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961 is the gateway to income tax exemption for charitable and religious trusts, NGOs, and institutions. Once registered, the entity’s income applied towards its charitable objects is exempt from income tax under Section 11. Without this registration, the entire surplus — regardless of how it is applied — is taxable at the applicable rates.
Section 80G approval is a separate but equally important registration: it enables donors to claim a deduction of 50% or 100% of the amount donated (subject to conditions) from their taxable income. 80G approval is a significant fundraising tool — most institutional and corporate donors require their recipient organisations to have valid 80G approval before making contributions.
Since April 2021, both Section 12AB registration and 80G approval are subject to a new regime requiring periodic renewal — every 5 years for most organisations, and 3 years for provisional registrations. Applications are processed by the Principal Commissioner or Commissioner of Income Tax (NFAC) through the e-filing portal. We manage the application, documentation, and follow-up for new registrations, re-registrations, and renewals.
