Why NGO Certificate or Registration is necessary?

A NGO Certificate or Registration is necessary for many reasons. It can help you not only abide by the law but also help you avail many advantages. The key reason is to avail rebate in income tax under Section 80G and 12A of the Indian constitution. NGOs having 12A registration are eligible to claim tax exemption from the income tax department. On the other hand, NGOs having 80G certification are able to attract relatively more donors for funds donation.

The NGOs or groups with no registration will not be able to avail income tax rebate, government grants, and other advantages that a registered NGO will avail. One of the key reasons behind registering a non-profit organization is getting donation for his/her organization.

There are majorly three ways according to the law for an NGO to be registered in India. They are – (1) Trust (2) Societies and (3) Section 8 Companies.

Trust registration under “The Indian Trust Act, 1882”
