Frequently asked questions
12A registration under the Income Tax Act grants tax exemption to an NGO or trust on its income. Once registered, the surplus income of the NGO is not taxable, allowing more funds to be used for charitable activities.
80G registration allows donors who contribute to the NGO to claim a tax deduction on their donation — typically 50% of the donated amount is deductible from the donor's taxable income. This makes the NGO more attractive to donors.
Yes. Both can be applied simultaneously using Form 10AB on the Income Tax portal. Beyonte Compliance handles both applications in a single engagement to save time and cost.
Trusts, societies, Section 8 companies and other institutions established for charitable purposes are eligible. The entity must not be formed for profit or for the benefit of a specific religion or caste.
After filing Form 10AB, the Income Tax department typically issues provisional registration within 1–3 months. Provisional registration is valid for 3 years, after which regular registration must be applied for.
