12A and 80G registrations play a vital role in building an NGO’s financial sustainability. 12A registration allows NGOs to claim income tax exemption on surplus funds, ensuring that more money is used for social impact.

80G registration benefits donors by allowing them to claim tax deductions on donations. NGOs with 80G certification attract more individual donors, corporates and institutions.

Without these registrations, NGOs often struggle to raise funds despite doing good work. Timely application, proper documentation and regular compliance help NGOs build long-term credibility and donor confidence.
