What is 12A Registration?

12A Registration is a crucial certification for NGOs, trusts, and charitable institutions in India to claim exemption from income tax on their surplus income. Without this registration, your NGO’s income may be taxable, reducing the funds available for charitable activities.

Obtaining 12A registration ensures that your organization can utilize its income fully towards its objectives without tax liabilities. It is also a foundational requirement for applying for other registrations like 80G.

Our team assists you through the entire process—from eligibility assessment and documentation to application filing and follow-ups. We ensure compliance with Income Tax regulations so that your NGO can focus on its mission without legal hurdles.
