What are 80G and 12A Registrations?

For every NGO, Trust, or Society operating in India, obtaining 80G and 12A registrations from the Income Tax Department is a crucial step toward building credibility and financial sustainability.

  • Section 12A Registration provides your NGO with tax exemption on income, meaning your organization doesn’t have to pay income tax on donations or grants received.
  • Section 80G Registration allows donors who contribute to your NGO to claim tax deductions on their donations — making your NGO more attractive to donors, corporates, and funding agencies.

Together, these registrations enhance your NGO’s legitimacy, transparency, and fundraising potential.

At Oxom Consultancy Hub, we provide end-to-end online assistance for obtaining 80G and 12A registrations — ensuring a smooth and compliant process with zero physical paperwork.
