I on behalf of my organisation Tarun Sangha want to know in more details about on line application for 80G. Earlier we had 80G exemption but unfortunately that was not renewed.
.
80G certificate never expired. Send me your details on contact@kcjmngo.com
Hi
In earlier days that is before,13.7.2006 the 80G was supposed to be renewed once in 3 year (if I am right). Later the department notified the 80G issued/renewed after 13.7.2006, will be valid till it is with drawn.
I think Mr.Lalit Mohan Samanta taking about this period.
Patrick A Kempu
Yes. Earlier every five years, 80G needed to be renewed. But not it is given for perpetual and no need to renew
Hi, We have applied for 80G somewhere in 2007 and also renewed the same in 2010. However, when I am checking details of my trust online on https://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/Pages/utilities/exempted-institutions.aspx it shows registered under 12A with date of registration of 12A and no details of 80G available online.
Any way forward / comment on this??
Thank you in advance.

That data is not reliable. Do not trust that one.
How to apply for both 12ab and 80g
Sir, I am doing live webinar on the whole step by step process.
If I go to submit, site says to upload balance sheet, my company is registered under section 8 on 8 June 2020. and on other hand it is also noticed to upload 3 years “if any”, now I don’t have any balance sheet or audit unless I wait for 1 year, but in many cases I require 80G and 12A. What should I upload, in such case. One of my friend told me that they might require provisional balance sheet/certificate. Please let me know what should I do?
Generally for granting 80G, Incometax expects 3 years standing of any organization and reasonable activities.
However, there is no written rule for that. So yes you can apply with provisional balance sheet.
Now a days in a e filling IT home page, the 80G format is not showing. What to do for new registration of 80G online?
