80G & 12A Registration
12A registration under the Income Tax Act exempts a charitable organisation's income from tax — without it, the NGO pays corporate tax on surplus funds. 80G registration allows donors to claim a 50% deduction on donations made to the organisation, making it far more attractive for fundraising. Both registrations are now provisional (valid for 5 years) under the new regime and must be renewed. BSP Associate prepares and files Form 10A for 12A and Form 10G for 80G, responds to queries from the Commissioner of Income Tax, and tracks the registration until approved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about 80G & 12A Registration.
12A registration benefits the NGO — it exempts the organisation's own income from income tax. Without 12A, any surplus (income minus expenditure) is taxed at the applicable rate. 80G registration benefits the donors — it allows individual and corporate donors to claim a deduction of 50% of the donated amount from their taxable income. Both registrations are independent and can be applied for simultaneously.
