Overview

Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 refers to one of the major the deduction in respect of donation to charitable institutions, few specific funds, etc. wherein the taxpayer gets the exemption either partly or fully of the amount donated from tax liability. The deduction can be claimed by any person or taxpayer i.e. individual, company, firm, body corporate or any other person, however the donation amount will not qualify for deduction if exceeds 10% of the Total Gross Income.
Registration under Section 12A of Income Tax is a must to provide the benefit under 80G to the person making the donation. The NGO may apply for 80G and 12A registration just after the registration as NGO. The NGO should register itself under section 80G to attract the potential donor, then the person or the donor or the organization will get deduction @50% or 100% from their taxable income.

Documents
What documents are required for 12AB and 80G registration?
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.
Registration and identity documents of the NGO
Verified against MCA requirements
Financial and activity records
Verified against MCA requirements
What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
12AB and 80G registration process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Check eligibility under the new regime
Since April 2021, charitable registrations run under Section 12AB (replacing 12A) and Section 80G approvals, both applied for on the Income Tax e-filing portal. New NGOs get provisional registration first; existing 12A holders had to re-register under 12AB.
Prepare the application and documents
We compile the registration certificate, PAN, MOA, trustee details, financials, and activity evidence. Applications with thin activity records are the ones most likely to face scrutiny.
File Form 10A on the Income Tax portal
The application for 12AB registration and 80G approval is filed electronically in Form 10A on the Income Tax Department's e-filing portal, signed with the authorised person's digital signature or EVC.
Respond to department queries
The Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions) may ask for additional documents or clarifications. We prepare and file responses within the timelines given in the notices.
Receive provisional or regular registration
New NGOs typically receive provisional 12AB registration and provisional 80G approval first, valid for a few years. After genuine charitable activity is demonstrated, you apply in Form 10AB for regular registration.
Apply for regular registration in Form 10AB
Before the provisional registration expires, we file Form 10AB with updated financials and activity proof. Regular approval is typically granted within 6 months of a complete application, though the end-to-end journey often takes 3-6 months or more.
Stay compliant to keep the approvals
Registered NGOs must file annual returns, keep donation records, and meet the conditions attached to 12AB and 80G. Non-compliance can lead to cancellation of the registration.
