12A Registration

12A Registration is a crucial tax registration for NGOs, Trusts, and Section 8 Companies to claim exemption from income tax under the Income Tax Act, 1961. Once registered under Section 12A, the income of the organization is exempt from tax, provided it is applied towards charitable or religious purposes.

This registration ensures that your nonprofit organization can operate efficiently without tax burden on surplus income.
