80G Exemption: A Step-by-Step Guide for NGOs

What is 80G?

Section 80G of the Income Tax Act lets donors claim a deduction for donations made to eligible organizations. An 80G certificate makes your NGO far more attractive to donors.

Eligibility and application

• Be registered as a trust, society, or Section 8 company
• Hold valid 12A registration
• Maintain proper books of accounts
• Apply in the prescribed form with the Income Tax Department

Issuing compliant receipts

Each 80G receipt must carry your registration number, the donor's details, the amount, and the mandated declaration. SocietyConnect generates these automatically for every eligible donation.
