Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 12A and 80G?

12A exempts the NGO from paying income tax. 80G allows donors to claim a tax deduction on their donations. Both are usually applied together.

Is 12A registration permanent?

Initially, a Provisional Registration is granted for 3 years. Once activities commence, you must apply for Permanent Registration (Form 10AB), valid for 5 years.

Can I apply if my NGO is new?

Yes, new NGOs can apply immediately after registration (Trust Deed/Incorporation) to get Provisional 12A registration.
