80G Registration
🌟 What is Section 80G?
Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 offers tax benefits to individuals and businesses donating to eligible charitable organizations. Once your NGO is 80G registered, donors can claim deductions on their taxable income for the donated amount—reducing their tax burden while supporting a noble cause.
By registering under 80G, your donors can claim tax deductions on their contributions, making charitable giving a financially smart choice for them. More incentives mean more generosity, helping your NGO secure the funds it needs to drive real change.
📌 Why is 80G Registration Important?
Getting 80G registered isn’t just about tax benefits—it also boosts your NGO’s credibility and funding potential. Here’s why it matters:
✅ Tax Benefits for Donors – Encourages more contributions by offering tax deductions.
✅ More Donations – Businesses and individuals prefer 80G-certified NGOs when donating.
✅ Greater Credibility – Enhances your NGO’s trustworthiness and legitimacy.
✅ Access to Government Grants – Many government and corporate grants require 80G registration.
✅ Transparent Operations – Encourages financial discipline with mandatory annual filings.
🛠️ Who Can Apply for 80G Registration?
Not every NGO qualifies for 80G registration. Your organization must meet the following criteria:
✔️ Legal Structure: Must be a trust, society, or Section 8 company registered under the relevant laws.
✔️ Charitable Purpose: The primary focus should be charity, education, religious, or social welfare activities—not profit-making.
✔️ Financial Transparency: Maintain proper accounts, conduct audits, and follow income tax compliance.
✔️ Non-Exclusive Beneficiaries: Should not serve only one caste or religious community.
✔️ Separate Business Income (If Any): Any business-related income must be separately accounted for and used strictly for charitable purposes.
