12A & 80G Registration

Estimated timeline *7–10 Working Days

Estimated delivery

Timeline conditions

The estimated 7–10 working days begin after we receive your NGO's PAN, trust deed or incorporation/registration certificate, address proof, trustee or director details, information about its charitable objectives, available supporting documents, Income Tax portal access and payment. The ₹8,999 package covers one combined first-time provisional application under Sections 332 and 354 of the Income-tax Act, 2025, for one eligible trust, society or Section 8 company whose activities have not commenced. Where eligible, both approvals are requested together through Form 104. The package includes eligibility screening, document review, preparation of an objectives and proposed-activities note, Form 104 submission, acknowledgement, application-status guidance and assistance with one routine clarification if required. There is no separate government fee for the standard online application. Applicable GST on our professional fee and any third-party document or DSC expenses are extra. If the NGO has already commenced activities, previously held registration or requires regular registration, Form 105 may apply instead. Such applications require a separate assessment and quotation. NGO formation, trust-deed amendments, financial statement preparation, statutory audit, Form 105 regular registration, donation reporting, income-tax returns, detailed departmental hearings and appeals are not included. The 7–10 working-day estimate is for application filing only. Approval, the URN and government orders are subject to departmental processing and eligibility verification. TaxQue cannot guarantee approval or a particular date of certificate issuance.

For Newly Formed NGOs, Trusts & Section 8 Companies: Dual-statutory application package securing 100% institutional income tax exemption and 50% donor tax deduction rights.

Form 10A / 10AB Single-Window Processing: Our legal and accounting team synchronizes documentation, trust deed clauses, and audited books for swift clearance.

Fast CIT Exemption Department Approval: Direct representation before the Commissioner of Income Tax to obtain official Unique Registration Numbers (URN).

Combined Section 12A & Section 80G NGO Tax Exemption Package

Securing both Section 12A (100% NGO tax exemption) and Section 80G (50% donor tax deduction) simultaneously is the gold standard for every newly registered or operating non-profit entity—including Charitable Trusts, Societies, and Section 8 Companies. Obtaining both registrations grants complete direct tax immunity on organizational surplus while empowering the NGO to issue tax-deductible receipts to corporate CSR donors and individual philanthropists.

TaxQue provides a synchronized, all-in-one 12A & 80G dual compliance bundle. Our NGO direct tax specialists audit your constitutional charters, structure secular charitable objects, file dual Form 10A / Form 10AB applications on the Income Tax portal, resolve Commissioner scrutiny inquiries, and deliver both official Form 10AC / Form 10AD URN Certificates in a single streamlined engagement.

What is 12A & 80G Registration?

The 12A & 80G Combo Package is the unified statutory registration process securing both entity-level tax exemption (12AB) and donor-level tax deduction (80G) from the Income Tax Department.

12A & 80G Registration

Dual Protection (Tax Exemption + Donor Deduction): Section 12AB shields your non-profit surplus from 34.94% corporate taxation, while Section 80G empowers donors to claim 50% tax deductions, multiplying donor fundraising potential.

Seamless Synchronized e-Filing: Simultaneous filing of Form 10A/10AB for both sections eliminates duplicate documentation, reduces legal costs, and ensures synchronized 3-year provisional or 5-year regular validity.

Full CSR-1 & Corporate Funding Readiness: Possessing both 12AB and 80G certificates is the mandatory prerequisite for registering on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs CSR portal (Form CSR-1) to unlock corporate CSR grants.

Simultaneous Application Advantage Notice

Applying for 12A and 80G together ensures that the Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions) verifies your charter clauses simultaneously, eliminating procedural delays and conflicting scrutiny queries.

Getting both simultaneously creates complete donor trust and unlocks corporate CSR grants and government funding.

(1) Dual Tax Monopolies: 100% tax exemption on trust income + 50% tax deduction for donors.
