What is 12A Registration under Section 12AB?

12A registration (now governed by Section 12AB) is the official recognition from Income Tax Department that allows charitable organisations to claim tax exemption on their surplus income. Without this, even genuine non-profits pay tax at normal slab rates. Vaidam Consultancy helps file Form 10A (provisional) or Form 10AB (renewal) ensuring you stay compliant with recent Finance Act amendments.

  • Exemption from income tax on charitable activities
  • Mandatory for CSR funding & government grants
  • Validity: 3 years (provisional) → 5-10 years (regular)

    • Form 10AC | Unique Registration Number (URN)
    PCIT issued order

    Who Should Apply for 12A & 80G?

    Any organisation with charitable or religious objectives that wants to protect its income from tax and provide deduction benefits to its donors. Specifically:

    • Charitable Trusts (registered under Trust Act or Bombay PT Act)
    • Societies under Societies Registration Act, 1860
    • Section 8 Companies (Non-profit companies)
    • Existing NGOs whose 12A expires on 31 March 2026
    • Organisations seeking CSR-1 registration for corporate funding

    Even if you haven't started operations, early registration ensures future donations are tax-deductible.

    Essential Documents for 12A Filing

    Our team prepares a complete document checklist and digitizes all records. Typical requirements:

    • Trust deed / MOA & AOA of Section 8
    • Registration certificate (Charity Commissioner / Registrar of Societies)
    • PAN Card of the organisation
    • Audited financial statements for last 3 years
    • Activity report & list of governing body members
    • Existing 12A order (for renewal/conversion)

    For Maharashtra trusts, Charity Commissioner registration under Bombay PT Act is mandatory before Form 10A – we handle that as well.

    12A vs 80G – Key Differences

    Many NGOs confuse these two registrations, but both serve distinct purposes:

  • 12A – Tax exemption for the NGO’s own income.
  • 80G – Tax deduction benefit for your donors (50% of donation).
  • You can apply for both simultaneously via Form 10A, saving time and effort.

    • CSR committees often require both certificates before releasing funds. Vaidam helps you obtain 12A & 80G together.

    12A → NGO benefit
    80G → Donor benefit
    Both → Maximum advantage

    Common Questions – Answered by Experts

    What is the renewal deadline for 12AB?
    All registrations revalidated in 2021 under Finance Act 2020 expire on 31 March 2026. Form 10AB must be filed at least 6 months before expiry. Vaidam provides emergency filing assistance.
    Is Charity Commissioner registration mandatory for Maharashtra NGOs?
    Yes, for trusts and societies in Maharashtra, registration under Bombay Public Trusts Act 1950 is a prerequisite before filing Form 10A with Income Tax. Our team handles both registrations seamlessly.
    How long does it take to get 12A certificate?
    Provisional registration typically takes 15–30 days from the date of filing. Renewal applications may take up to 6 months, but we maintain proactive follow-up with PCIT.
    Can a trust get 12A without 80G?
    Absolutely. But we strongly recommend both to attract CSR funding and individual donations. Vaidam offers discounted bundled service.
    What is the validity period of 12AB registration?
    New organisations: 3 years provisional. After renewal: 5 years regular (10 years for small trusts with income below ₹5 crore from FY 2025-26).
