Get Your 80G & 12A Registration
Tax exemption registrations for NGOs, Trusts & Section 8 companies. Unlock income tax exemption + donor tax benefits — expert handling of CIT(E) approval process.
Overview
Sections 12A & 80G, Income Tax Act12A and 80G registrations are tax exemption certifications under the Income Tax Act, 1961 for NGOs, Trusts, and Section 8 companies. 12A registration provides tax exemption to the organization itself on charitable income (no tax on donations, grants, or program income). 80G registration allows donors to claim tax deduction (50% or 100% of donation amount) when filing their income tax returns. Together, these registrations maximize funding potential by making donations tax-efficient for donors while keeping the organization's income tax-free. Applications are filed via Income Tax e-filing portal with Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions).
