How do I check my 12A 80G registration?

To check your 12A and 80G registration status, you need to log in to the Income Tax Department’s e-Filing portal using your organization’s PAN-based credentials. Once logged in, go to the “Income Tax Forms” section and select “View Filed Forms.” Look for Form 10A or Form 10AB, which are used for applying for or renewing 12A and 80G registrations. Here, you can check the current status of your application, acknowledgment number, and whether approval has been granted. Once approved, the registration certificates can also be downloaded from the same section. It’s advisable to keep these certificates saved as PDF copies for future use in grant applications, compliance checks, and CSR-1 Registration. If there is any confusion or delay in approval, contacting your Chartered Accountant or the local Income Tax Exemption Office can help clarify your registration status. Always ensure your NITI Aayog Registration is up to date as well.
