• Medical Institutions: These include non-profit hospitals and medical research organizations.

• Increased trust and credibility: Registrations under Section 12A and 80G provide organizations legitimacy and ensure transparency for donors.
• Increased Funding Potential: Tax breaks encourage individuals and corporations to make larger contributions to non-governmental organizations. This, in turn, expands the financial base of these organizations.
• Access to government grants: Many government departments and agencies require NGOs to have 12A and 80G certificates to be eligible for the various assured grants and funding possibilities they provide.
• Long-term Sustainability: With the potential to provide tax breaks to contributors, NGOs can create long-term financing streams and prepare to carry out initiatives with long-term effects.
• Efficient resource use: These registrations require the use of funds only for charity and religious purposes, as evidenced by regularly maintained account records.

• Nature of the Organization: Trusts, societies, and Section 8 companies founded only for charitable or religious purposes, as defined in Section 2(15) of the Income Tax Act, are eligible. This encompasses actions such as poverty alleviation, education, medical help, environmental preservation, and others.
• Charitable Activities: The organization must actively engage in its stated philanthropic aims without profit motives that benefit specific persons or groups.
• Registration Proof: You must be registered as a trust, society, or Section 8 corporation under the applicable regulations, and proof is needed during the application procedure.
• Income Utilization: All income and assets shall be used solely for charitable or religious purposes, with no direct or indirect profit to members or persons.
• Financial Paperwork: Proper bookkeeping and paperwork are required to reflect accurate financial activities.
• Tax Compliance: To keep your exempt status, you must file your annual tax returns on schedule.
• Political Neutrality: The organization should not engage in or support political activities, as this may result in the revocation of its 12A status.
