Tax Registration Services · 80G & 12A

80G & 12A Registration secure income tax exemption for your NGO and enable tax benefits for donors.

12A registration exempts an NGO's income from tax, while 80G registration allows donors to claim a deduction on donations made to the organisation, making both registrations essential for sustainable fundraising.

Under the Income Tax Act, a charitable trust, society, or Section 8 Company must obtain registration under Section 12A (now processed through Form 10A/10AB) to claim exemption on its income, provided that income is applied towards its charitable objects.

Section 80G registration is a separate approval that allows donors to claim a deduction for donations made to the organisation, making the NGO significantly more attractive to individual and corporate donors. Both registrations require provisional and final approval stages under the current regime.

At Beyonte Compliances, we prepare the application, compile the required financial and governing documents, and follow up with the Income Tax Department through to final approval.
