Enable your donors to claim 50% tax deduction on donations — making your NGO significantly more attractive for funding.
Section 80G registration allows donors — individuals and companies — to claim a 50% deduction on donations made to your NGO. This is one of the most powerful fundraising tools: donors are far more willing to give when they receive a tax benefit. 80G registration also signals credibility and financial accountability to institutional donors. Like 12A, it is now valid for 5 years and must be renewed.
Individual donors in the 30% tax bracket save Rs 150 for every Rs 1,000 donated — a compelling incentive.
Companies directing CSR funds to NGOs prefer 80G-registered organisations for their own tax records.
80G registration is a mark of accountability and formal recognition by the income tax department.
12A registration must be in place before applying for 80G.
We file Form 10G (provisional) or Form 10AB (regular) on the income tax portal.

The CIT(E) issues the provisional 80G certificate, valid for 3 years.
We set up Form 10BD (donor statement) and Form 10BE (donation certificates) for the first year.
