Questions
Frequently asked
Something else on your mind? Call the office - it is always the same number.
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.
