Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How to register a Section 8 company in India?
A Section 8 company is registered with the MCA for promoting charitable objects. The process involves obtaining a DIN and DSC for directors, name approval, and filing incorporation documents. We provide complete assistance for a seamless registration process.
2. What is the benefit of 12A and 80G certification?
12A registration exempts an NGO's income from taxation. 80G certification allows donors to claim tax deductions on their donations, which helps in attracting more funding for your organization.
3. How to receive foreign donations legally under FCRA?
To receive foreign donations, an organization must be registered under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010. This involves a detailed application process with the Ministry of Home Affairs. We guide you through every step of FCRA registration and compliance.
4. What is CSR funding & how NGOs apply for CSR partnership?
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funding is a mandatory contribution by large companies towards social projects. NGOs can apply for CSR partnerships by submitting a detailed project proposal that aligns with the company's CSR policy. We assist in structuring these partnerships and drafting grant agreements.
5. What are annual compliance requirements for NGOs?
Annual compliance for NGOs typically includes filing annual returns with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), submitting income tax returns, and adhering to FCRA reporting if applicable. We offer comprehensive services to manage all your annual compliance needs.
