What is 12a & 80g Registration?

12A registration is granted to charitable and non-profit entities, exempting their income from taxation under the Income Tax Act. Without it, the entire income of the organization may be taxed as per applicable rates.

• 80G registration enables donors to claim deductions on donations made to registered entities, thereby encouraging contributions.

• These registrations are interlinked but serve different purposes—12A benefits the NGO, while 80G benefits the donor.

• Both require formal applications to the Income Tax Department, accompanied by valid proof of charitable objectives and compliance with legal standards.

• These registrations are applicable to NGOs, trusts, and societies operating for non-profit purposes such as education, healthcare, and social welfare.
