Charitable and religious trusts, societies and Section 8 companies must register with the Income Tax Department to claim exemption on income applied for their objects. This registration is commonly known as 12A or 12AB registration under the Income-tax Act, 1961, and corresponding provisions continue under the Income-tax Act, 2025.
We prepare and file the application, respond to queries from the Commissioner and help with renewals when due.
Who needs 12A?
- Newly formed charitable trusts and societies
- Section 8 companies
- NGOs whose provisional registration needs to be converted to regular registration
Documents usually required
- Trust deed, memorandum or registration certificate
- PAN of the organisation
- Details of trustees or governing body
- Activity report and financial statements, if available
- NGO Darpan ID, where applicable
The exact list depends on your business type and location. We share a precise checklist after a short discussion.
