Part 1
Income Tax Registrations for NGOs
12A and 80G registration support for trusts, societies and Section 8 companies.
NGO tax registration
12A Registration
12A registration (now processed under Section 12AB) is the registration that charitable and religious trusts, societies and Section 8 companies apply for with the Income Tax Department. Once granted, the organisation's eligible income applied for charitable purposes may be exempt from income tax, subject to the conditions in the law.
The application is filed online with supporting documents about your objects, activities and accounts. A clear and accurate application helps avoid unnecessary queries. We help you organise documents, prepare explanatory notes and respond to clarifications.
-
Tax exemption on eligible income
Eligible income applied towards charitable objects may be exempt, subject to legal conditions.
-
Path to 80G
12A registration is generally needed before your donors can benefit from 80G.
-
Grant readiness
Many funders and CSR partners ask for 12A registration during due diligence.
-
Professional application
A well-documented application reduces avoidable delays and queries.
Who is this for?
- Newly registered trusts, societies and Section 8 companies
- NGOs that receive donations and grants
- Organisations planning to apply for 80G registration
- NGOs whose provisional registration needs to be converted
Documents commonly required
- Registration certificate and trust deed, MoA or bylaws
- PAN card of the organisation
- Details and identity proof of trustees, members or directors
- Note on activities carried out and planned
- Financial statements for available years
- Bank account details of the organisation
The exact list depends on your case. We share a final checklist after a free review.
12A Registration: common questions
Who can apply for 12A registration?
Charitable or religious trusts, societies and Section 8 companies can apply, subject to the conditions in the Income-tax Act.
Is 12A registration permanent?
Registrations under the current framework are granted for a specified period and must be renewed. We help you track renewal timelines.
Does 12A registration guarantee tax exemption?
No. Registration makes the organisation eligible for exemption, but the organisation must continue to meet the legal conditions, maintain accounts and file returns.
NGO tax registration
80G Registration
80G registration is granted by the Income Tax Department to eligible charitable organisations. When an NGO holds valid 80G registration, donors may be able to claim a deduction for qualifying donations while filing their own income tax returns, subject to the limits and conditions in the law.
With 80G come responsibilities such as issuing proper donation receipts and filing donation statements. We help you prepare the application and understand the reporting that follows, so your donor relationships stay transparent.
-
Donor benefit
Eligible donors may claim deductions on qualifying donations, as per law.
-
Stronger fundraising
Donors are often more comfortable giving to 80G-registered organisations.
-
Credibility
80G registration signals that the organisation has gone through departmental review.
-
Clear reporting
We explain receipts and donation statements so you stay compliant.
Who is this for?
- NGOs with 12A registration or applying for it
- Organisations raising funds from individual donors
- NGOs approaching companies for CSR or donations
- Trusts and societies running fundraising campaigns
Documents commonly required
- 12A/12AB registration certificate or application details
- Registration certificate and trust deed, MoA or bylaws
- PAN card of the organisation
- Note on charitable activities and beneficiaries
- Financial statements and income tax returns, where available
- Details of trustees, members or directors
The exact list depends on your case. We share a final checklist after a free review.
80G Registration: common questions
Is 12A registration required before 80G?
Generally, organisations apply for 12A/12AB registration before or along with 80G. We check your status and advise accordingly.
Do donors get a full deduction?
The deduction available to donors depends on the category of the organisation and the limits in the law. We do not promise a particular deduction.
What reporting is required after 80G?
Organisations typically need to issue donation receipts in the prescribed format and file statements of donations received. We can guide you on this.

Who can register on NGO Darpan?
Registered voluntary organisations such as trusts, societies and Section 8 companies can register, subject to portal requirements.

Government funding
E-Anudan Registration Assistance
e-Anudan is an online system used by certain government ministries and departments to receive and process grant-in-aid applications from voluntary organisations. Organisations usually need an NGO Darpan ID and complete organisational details before applying.

Which schemes are available on e-Anudan?
Available schemes change over time and depend on the ministry. We review currently open schemes with you during consultation.

Is professional certification needed?
Form CSR-1 generally needs to be certified by a practising professional. We coordinate this as part of the service.

Funding documentation
NGO Project Report
A project report explains the problem you address, the people you serve, what you plan to do, how much it will cost and how you will measure results. Funders and departments use it to understand whether your project is well planned and realistic.

Can you format reports for a specific funder?
Yes. Share the funder's template or guidelines and we will follow them.
CSR funding assistance
CSR Project Proposal
Companies review CSR proposals against their CSR policy, the activities permitted under applicable law and their own focus areas. A good proposal shows why the need exists, how your NGO will address it, what it will cost and how results will be reported.
