Last Date for applying for Re-registration of 12A & 80G

Last Date for applying for Re-registration of 12A & 80G

First of all anyone who havestill not applied for re-registration under S.12A & S.80G must apply by 30th September 2023. If you have not done so, please apply within the deadline.

Provisional to be treated as Registration / Approval

Of course, in most cases people have not only applied but received registration both under S.12A & S.80G for 5 years. However, the Dept. while issuing re-registration ordersin Form 10AC included the words ‘Provisional’ in the order. This caused a lot of confusion, as many persons mistook it that they need to reapply for registration. That is not the case.

CBDT has issued a clarification in this regard vide Circular No. 11 of 2022 dt 3-6-2022. The clarification acknowledges the error it states

(ii) where due to technical glitches, Form No. 10AC has been issued during FY 2021-2022 with the heading “Order for provisional registration” or “Order for provisionalapproval” instead of “Order for registration” or “Order for approval”, then all suchForm No. 10AC shall be considered as an “Order for registration or approval”

So, in case your Form 10AC has words Provisional, but if it is for 5 years, need not worry. Get the above circular from the link above for any future reference.

However, in case any organisation is yet to apply for re-registration, please do immediately 30th September’23 is the last date.
