02 If an NGO gets itself registered under section 80G then the person or the organization making a donation to the NGO will get a deduction of 50% from his/its taxable income. The NGO has to apply in Form No. 10G As per Annexure – 29 to the Commissioner of Income Tax for such registration. Normally this approval is granted for 2-3 years.
DOCUMENTS TO BE FILLED WITH FORM 10G
03 the application form should be sent in triplicate to the Commissioner of Income Tax along with the following documents :
The amount of deduction depends on-
i) copy of income tax registration certificate.
ii) Detail of activities since its inception or last three years whichever is less
iii) copies of audited accounts of the institution / NGO since its inception or last 3 years whichever is less.
CONDITIONS TO BE FULFILLED UNDER SECTION 80G
04 For approval under section 80G the following conditions are to be fulfilled:
i) the NGO should not have any income which are not exempted, such as business income. If, the NGO has business income then it should maintain separate books of accounts and should not divert donations received for the purpose of such business.
ii) The bylaws or objectives of the NGOs should not contain any provision for spending the income or assets of the NGO for purposes other than charitable.

EXTENT OF BENEFIT
There is ceiling limit up to, which the benefit is allowable to the donor. If the amount of deduction to a charitable organization or trust is more than 10% of the Gross Total Income computed under the Act (as reduced by income on which income-tax is not payable under any provision of this Act and by any amount in respect of which the assesses is entitled to a deduction under any other provision of this Chapter), then the amount in excess of 10% of Gross Total Income shall not qualify for deduction under section 80G. In other words, while computing the total income of an assesses and for arriving at the deductible amount under section 80G, first the aggregate of the sums donated has to be found out. Then 50 per cent of such donations have to be found out and it should be limited to 10 per cent of the gross total income. If such amount is more than 10 per cent of the gross total income, the excess will have to be ignored.
