These are the entities, which without any kind of break, strive towards educating children, empowering women, protecting the environment, and uplifting the underprivileged sections of the society. However, apart from their humanitarian mission, NGOs are in need of funds to continue with their operations &#8211; which, as a result, naturally brings up a question: Are NGOs in India obligated to pay tax?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to this is not very straightforward. It takes into consideration the registration of the NGO, the type of income the entity has, and the fact if it is obeying the rules for tax exemption. The government of India offers special assistance to the real NGOs so that they can use their resources more efficiently for the benefit of society instead of paying taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article simplifies a complex topic into understandable chunks \u2014 taxation of NGOs, which exceptions are there, and if at times, an NGO needing to pay \u200b\u200d\u200b\u200c\u200d\u200b\u200d\u200c\u200b\u200d\u200b\u200c\u200d\u200b\u200d\u200ctax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-an-ngo-and-how-it-operates\"><\/span><strong>What Is an NGO and How It Operates?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NGO\u200b\u200d\u200b\u200c\u200d\u200b\u200d\u200c\u200b\u200d\u200b\u200c\u200d\u200b\u200d\u200c (Non-Governmental Organization) is a non-profit organization that does not work for profit but for the welfare of society.

Such money is mostly from donations, government grants, or CSR partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being that NGOs utilize their funds for the benefit of the public, the government gives them exemptions on taxes so as to encourage them to do more social work and lessen their financial burden.

Are donations to NGOs taxable?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donors who make contributions to an NGO registered under 80G are not required to pay tax on such donations. In addition, donors are allowed to claim the donation made as a deduction in their tax returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. Can a newly formed NGO apply for tax exemption?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, a newly set up NGO may apply for the 12A and 80G registrations immediately after their establishment. It means enjoying the benefits of the tax system from the very beginning if one has the registration in the early stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. What happens if an NGO doesn\u2019t register under 12A?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the absence of 12A certification, the income earned will be regarded as taxable. The charitable institution will not be entitled to any exemption even if it performs activities of a charitable nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4. What documents are needed for 12A registration?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the documents that you should submit: the certificate of the NGO&#8217;s registration, PAN, the founding documents (trust deed or memorandum), the list of trustees, activity reports, and bank account details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5. Are CSR funds taxable for NGOs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funds for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) will not be taxed if the NGO has 12A registration and the funds are used for the approved charitable purpose. Meanwhile, if the funds are diverted or there is a false reporting, the organization will be responsible for taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Without empathy, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in India cannot run well \u2014 but still, it has to be compliant.
