FAQs

Common questions for 12A 80G Registration in California.

Search FAQs

6 results.

When should we apply for regular registration?

At least six months before the provisional registration expires, or within six months of starting activities, whichever is earlier.

Can a new NGO get 80G approval straight away?

Yes. A new trust, society or Section 8 company can apply in Form 10A for provisional 80G approval along with provisional 12AB registration, both valid for three years, and then apply for regular approval in Form 10AB.

What are Form 10BD and Form 10BE?

Form 10BD is the NGO's annual statement of donations received, filed by 31 May after the financial year. Form 10BE is the certificate issued to each donor from that statement — donors can claim the 80G deduction only if their donation appears in it.

What happens if we don't file Form 10BD?

Donors lose their deduction, and the NGO pays a fee of ₹200 a day plus a possible penalty. Repeated non-compliance also risks the NGO's registration.

What is the time difference between California and India?

Most of California is on Pacific time, so it runs behind India by 12.5 hours in summer and 13.5 hours in winter. We work mostly over WhatsApp and email, so you don't need to match Indian office hours.

Can I get 12A 80G Registration done while living in California?

Yes. This is India-side work, so it is done online and you don't need to travel. If a document must be attested abroad, we tell you upfront whether a notary, a state apostille or an Indian consulate is needed.
