Section 12A and Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 are two crucial registrations for NGOs in India. Section 12A registration exempts the income of the NGO from income tax, allowing it to utilize all funds for charitable purposes without tax liability.
Section 80G registration enables donors to claim a deduction of 50% on their donations to the NGO from their taxable income. This acts as a powerful incentive for donors and significantly boosts fundraising efforts for charitable organizations.
Both registrations are granted by the Income Tax Department. Since the Finance Act 2020, these approvals are granted for a block of 5 years (or 3 years for existing trusts), making compliance simpler and more structured for NGOs.
