12A Registration
We are a successful & sustainable consulting
12A Registration is granted by the Income Tax Department to Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Trusts, and Societies.
It provides tax exemption on the income earned by these entities — ensuring that funds received are used solely for charitable or religious purposes without being taxed.
It’s the first step for any NGO to become tax-exempt and compliant under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
