Contact Us For 80G Registration online
A NGO can avail income tax exemption by getting itself registered and complying with certain other formalities, but such registration does not provide any benefit to the persons making donations. The Income Tax Act has certain provisions, which offer tax benefits to the “donors”. All NGO’s should avail the advantage of these provisions to attract potential donors. Section 80G is one of such sections.
Procedure
If an NGO gets itself, registered under section 80G then the person or the organization making a donation to the NGO will get a deduction of 50% from his/its taxable income. The NGO has to apply in form to the Commissioner of Income Tax for such registration.
Earlier registration under 80G was given as one time registration unless any specific restrictions are provided in the registration certificate itself but finance act 2020 has made some substantial changes in registration process and period for which approval will be given.
New Registrations
Any new application for registration made on or after 1st April 2021 (as amended by Finance Act, 2020) shall be approved only for a period of 3 years and thereafter approval for 80G needs to be reapplied at least 6 months prior to the validity period. The subsequent approval shall be valid for five years.
The registration takes place according to section 80G of the Income Tax Act. It is beneficial for both the NGO as well as the donor. For the NGO, it is beneficial because it is able to attract more donors with the promise of tax deductions. It benefits the donors because they are able to reduce their tax liability by donating money.
