Overview

What is NGO Registration?

An NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation) can be registered in India as a Trust, Society, or Section 8 Company under the Companies Act. Each structure has distinct advantages depending on your objectives, geography, and funding requirements. Calcutta Corporate handles complete NGO registration including Trust Deed/MOA drafting, state-level registration, Section 8 incorporation, and subsequent 12AA tax exemption, 80G donor deduction, and Darpan portal registration.

Why do it

Key Benefits

Legal Recognition

A registered NGO can open bank accounts, accept donations, enter contracts, and operate as a formal legal entity.

Tax Exemptions (12AA)

Section 12AA registration grants income tax exemption to the NGO on income used for charitable purposes.

Donor Tax Benefits (80G)

80G registration allows donors to claim tax deduction on their donations — making fundraising significantly easier.

FCRA Eligibility

Only registered NGOs can apply for FCRA to receive foreign donations — a major funding source.

CSR Funding Access

Corporates prefer donating CSR funds to 80G-registered NGOs — opens access to corporate CSR budgets.

Darpan / NGO Nitiayog

Government grants and scheme benefits require Darpan registration — we handle this as part of our NGO package.
