Do you have a legal query?
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play a significant role in addressing social issues and creating positive change. Registering your NGO in India is a crucial step in giving your organization legal recognition and access to various benefits. Below is an overview of NGO registration and why it's essential:
NGO registration grants your organization legal status and recognition. It establishes your credibility and trustworthiness in the eyes of donors, partners, and the government.
Registered NGOs are eligible for tax exemptions under Section 12AA of the Income Tax Act. Donors can claim tax deductions under Section 80G for contributions made to registered NGOs.
Registration requires adherence to regulatory compliance, ensuring transparency in financial operations. It fosters public trust by demonstrating accountability and responsible use of funds.
Registered NGOs can apply for government grants and funding to support their social initiatives. Access to government schemes and projects becomes more feasible.
Registration under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) is necessary for receiving foreign donations. It enables NGOs to collaborate with international organizations and receive funds for their projects.
Registered NGOs can efficiently manage their operations, open bank accounts, and enter into legal contracts. They can own property, making it easier to establish offices and shelters.
