12A & 80G Registration

Secure income tax exemption for your NGO with 12A, and let your donors claim tax deductions with 80G โ€” complete registration support from qualified CAs.

Overview

What is 12A & 80G Registration?

12A Registrationย is an income tax exemption granted to charitable and religious organisations under Section 12A of the Income Tax Act. Once registered, the surplus income of your NGO, trust, or Section 8 company is exempt from income tax โ€” allowing all earnings to be directed toward your charitable objectives.

80G Registrationย allows donors who contribute to your organisation to claim a tax deduction on their donations โ€” either 50% or 100% of the donated amount depending on the category. This significantly increases donor motivation and makes your NGO more attractive for CSR funding and institutional grants.

Both registrations are now provisional (5-year validity) and must be renewed. Calcutta Corporate handles the complete application, CA certification, and ongoing compliance for both 12A and 80G.
