Keeping an NGO’s income tax exemption intact is an ongoing job, not a one-time registration. A missed return, a late audit report or an unreported donation can put the exemption itself at risk. We handle the full annual cycle for trusts, societies and Section 8 companies.
What we handle
- Exemption registrations and renewals — registration and periodic renewal under 332 and 354
- Return filing — preparation and filing of the income tax return (ITR-7) within the due date
- Audit reports — Form 10B / 10BB, including the reconciliations they depend on
- Donation reporting — Form 10BD statements and issuing Form 10BE certificates to donors, so their 354 deduction is not denied
- Accumulation of income — Form 9A and Form 10, where income cannot be applied within the year
- Assessments and notices — scrutiny, rectification, and representation before the department
- Advisory — application of income, corpus donations, anonymous donations, inter-charity donations, and the “charitable purpose” test where an organisation also earns commercial receipts
Why organisations come to us
Most exemption problems are avoidable and start small — a mismatch between the books and Form 10BD, an audit report filed after the return, or activities that quietly drift outside the registered objects. We work through the year rather than only at filing time, so these are caught early and corrected while they are still routine.
