From eligibility assessment to approval certificate — our CA experts manage every step of your income tax exemption registration.
Complete income tax exemption and donor benefit ecosystem for NGOs, trusts, societies, and charitable institutions.
12A registration exempts the NGO\\u0027s income from income tax. Applicable to trusts, societies, and Section 8 companies engaged in charitable, religious, educational, medical, or rural development activities. Provisional 12A valid for 3 years; regular 12A for 5 years after re-application.
80G allows NGO donors to claim 50% of their donation as deduction from taxable income. Critical for attracting individual and corporate donors. NGO must issue 80G receipts with registration number, PAN, and unique donation reference. Provisional 80G valid for 3 years; regular for 5 years.
Certain category NGOs qualify for 100% donor deduction (instead of 50%): PM Relief Fund, National Defence Fund, Clean Ganga Fund, PM CARES, and certain national funds. Government-recognized disaster relief NGOs may also qualify. Corpbiz advises on eligibility for 100% deduction category.
Since Finance Act 2020, all 12A and 80G registrations must be renewed every 5 years (previously permanent). NGOs with old permanent registrations also need re-validation. Corpbiz manages renewal applications before expiry with updated activity reports and financial statements.
Educational universities, hospitals, and research institutions may qualify for Section 10(23C) exemption. Scientific research associations qualify for 35(1)(ii) deduction. Medical institutions receiving government aid have separate exemption provisions. Corpbiz provides complete income tax advisory for charitable institutions.
NGOs with both 80G and FCRA can strategically communicate tax benefits to domestic and foreign donors. For NRI donors, 80G deductions apply for donations made from Indian income. Corpbiz provides holistic donor strategy consulting for NGOs with both domestic and international fundraising programs.
Operating without 12A & 80G registration significantly limits your NGO's financial sustainability and growth potential.
