Registration u/s 12AB

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If your Section 12AB registration is sanctioned until the financial year 2024-2025, you need to renew it at least six months before it expires. For a registration ending on 31st March 2025, the deadline for renewal was 30th September 2024. Failing to apply by this date means your registration will lapse, and you may need to apply for a fresh registration, potentially facing a more rigorous process. If you've missed the deadline, you'll need to explore the condonation route for renewal.

21 May 2025 If your registration under section 12AB has been sanctioned up to the financial year 2024-2025, you must apply for renewal at least six months before the expiry of the registration period. Since your registration is valid up to 31st March 2025 (end of FY 2024-25), the renewal application should have been submitted on or before 30th September 2024. If the renewal application is not submitted at least six months before the expiry, the registration will lapse at the end of its validity period. The entity may have to apply for fresh registration as a new applicant, which may involve stricter scrutiny and a potentially more complex process.
