DOCUMENTS REQUIRE FOR 12A:

The first step of registration you have to fill a FORM 10A and this form has to be submitted to the commissioner of income tax. If your NGO is established in metropolitan cities like Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai and Chennai, then you have to produce the FORM 10A to the Director of Income Tax (Exemption), Income tax department office. The application form should be sent in triplicate to the Commissioner of Income Tax along with the following documents:

  • FORM—10A for u/s 12A registration
  • RC and MOA / Trust Deed (two copy – signed and stamped)
  • NOC from Landlord
  • PAN copy
  • Copies of audited accounts of the institution/NGO since its inception or last 3 years whichever is less.
  • Detail of activities since its inception or last three years whichever is less
  • Copies of the accounts of last couple of years may also be submitted
  • Electricity Bill / House tax Receipt / Water Bill photocopy
  • Evidence welfare activities carried out & Progress Report since inception.
  • Books of Accounts & ITR, if any, since inception
  • Original basic documents of organization, like Trust deed / Bye laws / Rules and Regulations / Memorandum and Articles of Association as per the shape of your NGO- at the time of registration.

Note: Before submitting FORM 10A, please make sure that you have received PAN CARD for your NGO.

After you have produced the above FORM 10A either through registered post with acknowledgement due or directly in the Income Tax office. The Commissioner of Income Tax, on receipt of an application for registration of an NGO, shall call for such documents or information, as he thinks necessary.

While processing such application, the concerned authority normally concentrates on the genuineness of the NGO. Once the genuineness of the activities & creation is established, then it is incumbent upon the authority to pass an order in writing, registering the NGO.

The Income tax officers have the rights to grant or to refuse registration to your application. Also, note that, 12A registration of an NGO shall be cancelled by the Income tax department, if it feels that NGO is not fit as per law at any point of time.
