12A registration is a tax exemption certificate issued by the Income Tax Department that allows NGOs to be exempt from paying income tax on their earnings. It is essential for securing CSR funding, government grants, and tax-free donations. Without 12A, your NGO’s income is taxable, reducing the funds available for charitable activities.
Why Get 12A Registration?
- Income Tax Exemption – Your NGO pays zero tax on donations & grants.
- Mandatory for CSR & Government Grants – Required for corporate & government funding.
- Boosts Financial Growth – More funds available for charitable work.
- Builds Trust & Credibility – Shows transparency & compliance.
- Essential for 80G Registration – 80G tax benefits for donors require 12A approval first.
