In India, non-profit organisations can benefit significantly from two important registrations provided by the Income Tax Department—12A and 80G Registration. While 12A Registration grants income tax exemption to eligible charitable organisations, 80G Registration enables donors to claim tax deductions on their donations.
These registrations help NGOs maximize funds for charitable activities while encouraging greater public contributions through tax incentives.
LegallensIndia offers complete assistance in obtaining both 12A and 80G Registration, ensuring a smooth registration process and complete compliance with the Income Tax Act.
Sections 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provide tax-related benefits to charitable institutions and their donors. These registrations are essential for NGOs, Trusts, Societies, and Section 8 Companies engaged in charitable or religious activities.
While Section 12A provides tax exemption on the income earned by the organisation, Section 80G allows donors to claim deductions on donations made to eligible organisations.
Registration under Section 12A of the Income Tax Act allows eligible charitable organisations to claim exemption from paying income tax on their surplus income.
Once registered, the organisation is not required to pay tax on grants, donations, or other income, provided such income is utilised exclusively for charitable or religious purposes.
This registration enables NGOs to maximise the funds available for their welfare activities and long-term social impact.
Section 80G Registration primarily benefits donors rather than the organisation itself.
Individuals, companies, and other entities making donations to an organisation registered under Section 80G can claim deductions on their taxable income as prescribed under the Income Tax Act.
This encourages charitable donations and helps organisations raise more funds for carrying out their objectives.
