Many NGOs and their consultants are unaware that the validity of their 80G & 12AB registrations is limited to just six months from the commencement of activities because those are provisional ones only. If you do not apply for final 80G & 12AB registrations within this six-month period, the provisional 80G & 12AB registrations become invalid. Therefore, it is crucial to check whether the heading of your 80G & 12AB certificates include the word "Provisional".
Likewise, Many NGOs and their consultants are unaware that if you have already started your activities, you are not eligible for provisional 80G & 12AB registrations. In such cases, you must apply directly for final 80G & 12AB registrations.

If we are unable to secure your final 80G & 12AB registrations, we refund the full amount.

We not only register the NGOs, but we are torch bearers for NGOs. We understand that registration of an NGO is not sufficient, and it is equally important to understand and know about rules, regulations, trends, practices, resources and opportunities, which most social entrepreneurs lack. That's where we step in to lend a hand. We help you in your social endeavours by providing timely updates and insights through our learning centre (which we call the training centre). Here, we meticulously curate and disseminate information that is critical for the thriving of NGOs.
