Overview
What is 80G Registration?
Section 80G registration allows donors to your NGO to claim a deduction on their donations when computing their own income tax. This makes giving to your organisation more attractive and is often decisive for raising funds from individuals and companies.
80G is granted by the income-tax authority (in the same Form 10A/10AB process as 12A, and usually alongside it), is valid for a fixed period before renewal, and brings ongoing obligations — notably filing a statement of donations (Form 10BD) and issuing donation certificates (Form 10BE) to donors.
We review eligibility, file Form 10A/10AB for your 80G, and set you up for the donation-reporting that keeps the benefit valid.

Process
A clear path from start to filed
Official filing
How the Income Tax e-filing portal (Form 10A/10AB) flow works
80G registration is applied for in Form 10A/10AB on the income-tax portal (typically with 12A); once granted, the NGO must file the annual donation statement (Form 10BD) and issue donor certificates (Form 10BE) to keep the deduction valid for donors.
We file through the official income-tax portal and set up the donation reporting. We never claim a private API or guaranteed grant — registration rests with the income-tax authority.

FAQs
80G Registration — frequently asked questions
What is 80G registration?
Registration that lets your donors claim an income-tax deduction on donations made to your NGO — a significant fundraising advantage.
Do I need 12A before 80G?
In practice 12A (income-tax exemption for the NGO) is the foundation, and 80G is obtained on that basis — usually together via Form 10A/10AB.
What does 80G require me to do afterwards?
File the annual statement of donations (Form 10BD) and issue donation certificates (Form 10BE) to donors, so they can claim their deduction. We can manage this.
Does 80G cover the full donation?
Deductions under 80G can be at different rates and limits depending on the donee category. We help donors understand what applies, but the exact deduction is per the law.
Does 80G expire?
Yes — like 12A, it's granted for a fixed period and must be renewed. We track and refile.
Is there a government fee?
No, there's no government fee to file Form 10A/10AB. Our charge is the professional fee.
Can companies use 80G donations?
Companies can claim 80G deductions on eligible donations (separate from CSR rules). For CSR funding specifically, the NGO also needs CSR-1. We advise on both.
