Registration under Sections 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act offers dual benefits to NGOs:
12A Registration: Grants exemption of the organisation’s income from Income Tax.
80G Registration: Allows donors to the NGO to claim tax deductions on their contributions.
Applications for 12AB and 80G registration can be made either jointly or separately. However, if applied separately, registration under 12AB must be obtained first, as it is a mandatory prerequisite for 80G registration under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
At Monitrix, our team of experts ensures a smooth and hassle-free registration process. We handle all documentation, compliance, and formalities on your behalf, leveraging our years of experience in company and NGO registrations to make the process efficient and stress-free.
