How to Apply for 80G and 12A 

About Our Service

What Is 80G and 12A Registration?  

80G and 12A registrations are approvals granted by the Income Tax Department of India to charitable organizations, NGOs, and trusts. These certifications allow them to operate as recognized non-profit entities and avail tax benefits.

  • Section 12A Registration gives NGOs tax exemption on their income.

  • Section 80G Registration allows donors to claim deductions on the amount they donate to registered NGOs.

Both registrations are applied for through the Income Tax portal in electronic form using verified digital signatures. These approvals help NGOs build credibility, attract more donations, and remain compliant with the Income Tax Act, 1961.

If you are managing a trust, NGO, or Section 8 company, understanding how to apply for 80G and 12A online is essential to operate legally and maintain transparency with donors and authorities.

    I had a very complicated LLP striking off requirement. It took a long time due to Government (MCA) delays. Through out the period EbizFiling continued to support me and successfully completed the assignment. Truly stellar service, and I particularly want to thank Aman for his support. Will continue to do business with them.
