What is 12A Permanent Registration?
12A Permanent or regular registration is relevant to eligible organisations moving beyond the provisional stage or applying under the longer-term registration provisions applicable to their circumstances.
12A Permanent Registration helps an eligible NGO continue its income-tax exemption benefits on a long-term basis, subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of the Income-tax Act.
Why can this service matter?
The registration supports the NGO's income-tax exemption framework for the approved period, subject to statutory conditions and continuing compliance.
Who may need it?
Eligible organisations whose present status requires regular or longer-term 12A registration rather than the provisional route.
