Thanks to section 12a of the Income Tax Act, 1961, charitable and religious organizations in India can reduce their tax liabilities. To enjoy these benefits, organizations must register which guarantees their income earned from charitable programs does not require payment of income tax. As a result, non profits are able to focus more on their tasks and improve the community because the government provides financial relief. Those who contribute to charities registered with section 12a can benefit from tax deductions on their donations because of the section 80g rule. Earning and keeping this status requires following all set guidelines and filing the right paperwork. In general, section 12a encourages philanthropy, supports different charity programs around the country and develops a community spirit of giving.
