NGO (Non-Government Organization) is established solely to serve non-profit humanitarian purpose in the form of Charitable Trust/Society/Section 8 Company and once such entity is formally registered it is approved of a bunch of tax exemptions, benefits, reliefs as well as provision of tax deductions for the donors. For that, 12A and 80G registrations are mandatory, otherwise, ANY income an NGO earns, like, service/production/donation, will be taken as normal taxable income without considering the purpose of such income. NGOs with 12A and 80G Certificates gets an upgraded commercial value than its counterparts without such certificates: Provision of Government Funding allowed ONLY to such NGOs A 12A registered NGO is permitted of utilising tax exempted income for its lifetime Being permitted of providing valid donation receipts (printed with 80G registration ID) allowed for tax exemptions, NGOs with 80G Certificate receives more donors 12A registration is compulsory part in getting 80G registration 12A and 80G registrations can be taken together or separately. Private/Family Trust NOT eligible for 12A Certificate The charitable institutions are eligible for certain tax exemptions and benefits in India. The exemptions and benefits are dealt with under Sections 12A/12AA and 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The institutions availing benefits under Section 12A and 80G had to revalidate their registrations under these two sections before August 2020 to continue to obtain the benefits. The existing religious or charitable institutions or NGO’s had to re-apply to the Income Tax authorities for revalidation of the existing registrations. The charitable institutions cannot claim the benefits provided to them under 12A and 80G deductions without revalidation. This revalidation process focuses on whether the charitable activities of the institution or trust, or NGO are genuine or not.  The revalidation is necessary due to the changes made by way of amendment to the Finance Act, 2020, which mandates that the charitable institutions registered under Sections 12A/12AA and/or 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 are required to re-apply online for approval/registration by 31 August 2020. This amended provision came into force on 1 June 2020.  However, due to the COVID-19 situation, the CBDT (Central Board of Direct Taxes) deferred the start date to 1 October 2020, and the charitable institutions had to re-apply for registration by 31 December 2020. On the 26 of March 2021, the CBDT notified the Income-Tax (6th Amendment) Rules, 2021 that states the procedure for fresh registration and the list of documents required for organisations registered under Section 12A/12AA/80G.  The Income-Tax (6th Amendment) Rules, 2021, came into force on 1 April 2021.  Thus, the institutions and trusts with existing registrations under Section 12A/12AA or/and 80G should file the application for fresh registration within three months from 1 April 2021, i.e. before 30 June 2021, as per the Income-Tax (6th Amendment) Rules, 2021. Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 Registration of trust or charitable institutions under Section 80G does not provide any direct benefits to them. The trust or charitable institutions register themselves under Section 80G to enable the donors who contribute to them to avail certain tax benefits on their contributions. The registration under section 80G of charitable institutions is to incentivise their donors to make contributions. However, only the NGOs that have registered under both Section 12A and 80G are eligible for availing of government funding. Section 12A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 Registration of trust or charitable institutions under section 12A/12AA certifies that the Income Tax authorities recognise the registered institution or trust as having been incorporated or established for a charitable purpose. The effect of such recognition is that the respective institutions are exempted from paying income tax, subject to the satisfaction of certain other compliance requirements as per law. Section 12A deals with institutions and trusts registered before 1996, and Section 12AA deals with institutions and trusts registered after 1996. The NGO’s have to obtain a 12A certification to avail tax benefits, regardless of whether they are constituted as a society, trust or not-for-profit company. Benefits of 12A And 80G Registration More capital allowed for charitable activities through tax exemption over NGO income. Funds and Grants are permitted from recognized Agencies, Government and International sources. ONLY 12A and 80G registered NGOs are permitted to accept International funding with exemptions available under Foreign Regulation Act, 2010 or FCRA. Attracts more donors expanding the scope of fulfilling the NGO objectives. More operational exposure and status value when the NGO is registered and obtains 12A and 80G registration. Both 12A and 80G are one-time registrations and valid for an NGO’s lifetime. Procedure of Revalidation Under Section 12A and 80G In order to claim exemption, a charitable or religious trust or institution, including an NGO, should make an application to the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax or Commissioner of Income Tax online in Form 10A. The procedure of applying for revalidation/registration are mentioned below:  Log in to the E-filing portal of the IT department.  Go to the ‘Income Tax Forms’ under the e-File tab.
