What is 80G & 12AA?

80G and 12AA are two sections of the Income Tax Act that provide tax exemptions for donations made to charitable organizations in India.

80G is a provision that allows donors to claim tax deductions on donations made to eligible charitable organizations. This deduction can be claimed up to either 50% or 100% of the donation amount, depending on the type of organization and the cause being supported.

12AA is a registration granted by the Income Tax Department to charitable organizations which denotes the tax exemption status of the organization. Charitable trusts are required to obtain 12AA registration in order to avail themselves of tax benefits under various provisions of the Income Tax Act.
