Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the distinction between Form 10AC and 80G certificates for non-profit organisations. While Form 10AC is a provisional registration, it is not a direct equivalent to the 80G certificate, which is required for donors to claim tax deductions. Separate applications are necessary for both 12A and 80G registrations, and Form 10AC requires re-application for final approval within six months of commencing activities.

A non-profit organization or non-governmental organization (NGO), a charitable trust or a Section 8 Company, can apply for 80G registration as well as obtain certification under section 12A. Both certifications can be applied together or it can also be done separately also.

1[FORM NO. 10AC (See rule 2C or 11AA or 17A) Order for registration or provisional registration or approval or provisional approval.

The Form 10 AC that you have received is provisional. You have to re-apply to obtain the final Form 10 AC within 6 months of the commencement of trust activities. You will have to visit the commissioner (IT Exemption) and satisfy him that the activities have commenced, then only he will give the registration.

Same for 80 G. You have to apply two times. One for 12A & One for 80G.

Can you pleas tell if we Registered under Form 10 AC. whether GST is exempt or applicable ..?

 

Form 10AC is not automatically equivalent to an 80G certificate. It is an order issued by the Income Tax Department granting provisional registration or approval under the applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act.

The important point is to check the section mentioned in your Form 10AC order. If it specifically grants approval under Section 80G, it serves as evidence of your 80G provisional approval for the validity period stated in the order. However, if it grants registration under Section 12AB, it relates to the organisation’s income-tax exemption status and does not independently provide 80G approval.

Since you already have 12AA and 80G certificates, compare the section, approval details, and validity dates mentioned in your existing certificates with the new Form 10AC order. Donors can claim deductions under Section 80G only when the organisation has valid 80G approval and the other applicable conditions are fulfilled.

For organisations completing 12a and 80g registration, it is important to obtain and maintain the respective approvals separately, as both serve different purposes. If the order is unclear, you should verify its approval category with your tax consultant or the Income Tax Department before advising donors about deductions.
