Non-profit organizations working in Delhi and NCR—such as NGOs, trusts, and societies—benefit greatly from obtaining 12A and 80G registration. These registrations help NGOs claim income tax exemption and allow donors to avail tax benefits, which ultimately boosts funding and credibility.
This updated guide explains the complete process, documents, eligibility, fees, and benefits of 12A & 80G registration in Delhi for 2025.
12A registration provides an NGO with complete tax exemption on its income. Once approved, the NGO does not need to pay income tax on donations, grants, or funds received.
80G registration allows donors to claim 50% tax deduction on their donations to your NGO. This increases donor trust and boosts fundraising potential.
Both registrations are issued by the Income Tax Department of India and are essential for NGOs operating in Delhi NCR.
● Full tax exemption for NGOs
● Donor attraction due to 80G tax benefits
● Higher trust & credibility
● Eligibility for CSR funding
● Eligibility for international donations (with FCRA)
● Long-term compliance benefits
● Better transparency and accountability
To apply, your NGO must:
‣ Be registered as a Trust, Society, or Section 8 Company
