Section 80G Registration Under the Income Tax Act, 1961

Section 80G Registration enables charitable organizations to offer tax benefits to their donors, boosting trust, donations, and eligibility for CSR funding. Governed by the Income Tax Act, 1961, this registration allows individuals or companies donating to a registered NGO, trust, or Section 8 company to claim tax deductions of 50% or 100% on their contributions, depending on the nature of the cause.


Charitable institutions involved in education, healthcare, poverty relief, women empowerment, and other social impact work can significantly benefit from 80G registration. It not only improves credibility and visibility but is also a key requirement for receiving CSR donations from corporates.


What is Section 80G of the Income Tax Act?

Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961, allows individuals, companies, and other taxpayers in India to claim tax deductions on donations made to approved charitable organizations. Depending on the type of organization and the cause it supports, donors can deduct either 50% or 100% of the donated amount from their taxable income.


This provision is designed to encourage philanthropic giving by making donations to registered NGOs, public charitable trusts, and Section 8 companies more rewarding through tax savings.


Benefits of Section 80G Registration


For Donors


1. Tax Savings:


Donors can avail deductions of 50% or 100% of the donated amount under Section 80G, based on the type of institution and the nature of the contribution.

    For Charitable Organizations

    • 1. Increase in Donations:

      80G registration makes an NGO or trust more appealing to potential donors by offering them tax exemptions — resulting in higher donation inflows.

      Holding a valid 80G certificate boosts your organization's authenticity and trustworthiness among the public, corporates, and institutions.


      3. Access to CSR & Government Funding:

      Many CSR initiatives, PSU grants, and government schemes mandate 80G registration for fund eligibility — making it essential for long-term financial support.
