80G & 12A Registration
About Our Service
Both the 80G and 12A registration sections of the Indian Income Tax Act provide tax advantages to non-profit organisations, including Section 8 Companies, for their charitable endeavours.
The ability to receive tax benefits, which in turn draw donations and aid in fundraising efforts, makes these registers crucial for non-profit organisations. Non-profit organisations can function in a tax-efficient manner and efficiently work towards attaining their charity goals by getting these registrations.
To promote private donations, the Income Tax Department gives an 80G Certificate to non-governmental organisations (NGOs), such as charity trusts or Section 8 businesses. This certificate entitles donors to a 50% tax exemption by allowing them to subtract the amount donated from their gross total income.
Donors must present a stamped receipt for the donation, which should include the donor's name, the date of the donation, and the organization's PAN (Permanent Account Number), in order to be eligible for the exemption. Both NGOs and contributors can profit from tax benefits and promote charitable endeavours by obtaining the 80G Certificate and offering appropriate receipts.
Section 12A of the Income Tax Act of 1961 allows for a one-time tax exemption for trusts, non-profit organisations, and section 8 companies. Companies that are registered under Section 12A benefit from not having to pay taxes on their excess income.
Non-profit, charitable organisations make up non-governmental organisations (NGOs). They must pay taxes at ordinary rates while they are earning money if they are not registered under Section 12A of the Income Tax Act.
Documents Needed to Register 12A
The 12A certificate is a crucial document that can be used to prove an organization's legitimacy. It is an essential piece of documentation for obtaining funding from national and international organisations. An organisation may lose its right to tax exemption benefits if it doesn't obtain a 12A registration certificate.
The following paperwork is needed in order to incorporate an NGO:
The Trust Deed (for a Trust) or the Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA) (for a Section 8 Company) are two examples of proof of incorporation.
PAN Card of the registered applicant or the NGO's designated representative.
A properly completed registration application.
Financial statements for the last two years, comprising balance sheets and income and expense statements.
These papers are necessary for the registration procedure and to confirm the NGO's legitimacy.
Documents Needed to Register 80G
The tax division issues the 80G certificate to NGOs and businesses registered under Section 8 of the 2013 Companies Act. It permits contributors to deduct their charitable contributions from their gross income and receive a tax exemption of up to 50%. This clause encourages donors to donate to these qualified organisations and get the 80G certificate. Donors must submit the donation receipt and the information about the beneficiary organisation in order to be eligible for the tax exemption.
To obtain the 80G certificate, you will need to provide the following documents:
- Address proof of the registered office of the NGO:
Property papers, if you own the registered office.
Rented or leased agreement, in case of a rented office.
2. List of donors:
Include the names of the donors along with their PAN (Permanent Account Number) and address details.
3. List of governing board of trustee's members:
Provide the contact details of the members of the governing board of trustees.
4. Proof of incorporation of the NGO:
Submit the relevant documents that establish the legal incorporation of the NGO.
5. PAN card of the registered applicant of the NGO:
Include a copy of the PAN card of the applicant who is registered with the NGO.
6. Trust deed or Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA):
Provide the trust deed in case of a trust, or MoA and AoA in case of a Section 8 company.

Benefits 12A Registration
The initial registration required for establishing an NGO is the 12A registration, which provides exemption to NGOs applying for tax exemption under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This registration ensures that the NGO is eligible for tax benefits and exemptions.
Benefits 80G Registration
Achieving an 80G registration certificate improves the entity's standing with the general public. With the help of this certificate, donors can donate to an NGO and receive tax breaks that will lower their tax obligations. The 80G certificate therefore helps both the donor and the NGO.
