12A Registration, 80G Registration, and CSR Compliance Services

12A Registration is granted by the Income Tax Department to NGOs, Trusts, Societies, and Section 8 Companies to provide exemption from income tax on surplus funds used for charitable and non-profit purposes. Without 12A registration, even charitable organizations may be taxed on their income under normal tax provisions.

Section 80G Registration is equally important because it allows donors who contribute to the NGO, Trust, Society, or Section 8 Company to claim income tax deductions on eligible donations made to the organization. This increases donor confidence and improves fundraising opportunities for non-profit institutions.

Registration under Section 80G provides tax benefits to donors, while 12A/12AB registration helps the organization itself claim exemption on income under Sections 11 and 12 of the Income Tax Act. ClearTax notes that older provisions under 12AA were replaced by the newer 12AB system and organizations apply online through Form 10A for registration/revalidation.

Generally, 80G registration requires that the organization already has valid 12A/12AB registration because the income of the organization should qualify for exemption before donor benefits are granted.

These registrations are commonly applicable for:

  • NGO Registration
  • Charitable Trusts
  • Public Charitable Trusts
  • Private Trusts (where applicable)
  • Society Registration
  • Section 8 Companies
  • Religious and Charitable Institutions
  • Educational and Welfare Organizations
  • Social Service and Public Welfare Institutions

CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) compliance is also highly important for NGOs and Section 8 Companies receiving CSR funds from companies. Proper registration, legal documentation, tax compliance, and reporting are necessary for lawful CSR fund acceptance and utilization.
