Deep FAQ

The questions founders actually ask

Not the polished 5 — the 15 that come up in real consultations. Click any to expand.

Q01Trust vs Society vs Section 8 — which structure?
Trust: simplest, minimum 2 trustees, state Public Trust Act / Indian Trusts Act, fastest setup. Society: minimum 7 members, more governance, AGM required. Section 8: most credibility, MCA registration, most compliance. Choose: trust for family charity, society for member-based work, Section 8 for serious institutional NGO.
Q02When should I apply for 12A and 80G?
12A: as soon as you start activity (provisional within 1 month of incorporation). Final 12A after 6 months of demonstrated activity. 80G: simultaneously with 12A or right after (12A is prerequisite). Both have 5-year validity now (post-2020 amendment).
Q03Can I receive foreign donations?
Only with FCRA registration or prior permission. Need: 3 years of charitable activity + ₹10L+ spent + audited accounts + SBI New Delhi Main Branch FCRA-designated account. New entities can apply for Prior Permission for specific donations.
Q04What's the difference between 12A and Section 8?
Section 8 is the corporate structure (MCA registration). 12A is tax exemption (Income Tax). Section 8 needs both: incorporation + 12A. Trusts and societies also need 12A for tax exemption.
Q05What annual compliance does an NGO need?
Income Tax: ITR-7, Form 10B (audit), Form 10BD (donor statement to IT), Form 10BE (donor receipts). FCRA: FC-4 annual return + quarterly portal updates. Section 8: AOC-4 + MGT-7 + DIR-3 KYC. Trust/society: state-specific compliances + audited accounts. CA audit mandatory.
Q06How do donors claim 80G deduction?
Donors get Form 10BE certificate from NGO (post-2022 mandate). NGO must file Form 10BD by 31 May each year. Donor claims deduction in ITR — 50% or 100% based on receiving institution. Donor PAN mandatory in receipts.
