12A Registration

Income Tax exemption registration for charitable organizations. Essential for Trusts, NGOs, and Section 8 Companies to claim tax-exempt status on their income.

Overview

Section 12A registration under Income Tax Act grants tax exemption to charitable/religious trusts and institutions on their income derived from property held for charitable purposes.
