Overview

Section 80G of the Income Tax Act provides a facility whereby donors (individuals or companies) who contribute to a registered NGO can claim a deduction from their own taxable income. Usually, this deduction is capped at 50% of the donated amount. For an NGO, holding an 80G certificate is the most powerful tool to incentivize donations, especially from High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds, who seek tax efficiency alongside philanthropy.

Key Advantages of 80G Registration

80G directly boosts your organization's fundraising capabilities.

Advantage 01

Increase Donor Base

Donors are significantly more likely to contribute when they know they will receive a tax deduction certificate in return.

Advantage 02

Attract CSR Funding

Under the Companies Act, large corporations must spend 2% of their profits on CSR. They exclusively partner with 80G certified NGOs.

Advantage 03

Enhanced Credibility

Approval under 80G signifies that the IT department has thoroughly vetted your NGO, increasing public trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers to common regulatory inquiries.

Do donors get a 100% or 50% deduction?▼

Most private NGOs are granted 80G status with a 50% deduction limit (subject to 10% of the donor’s adjusted gross income). 100% deductions are usually reserved for specific government relief funds (like the PM Cares Fund).

Can NGOs with religious objects get 80G?▼

No. Section 80G strictly prohibits registration if the NGO is established for the benefit of any particular religious community or caste. It must be for public utility.
