Earlier registration under 80G was given as one-time registration unless any specific restrictions are provided in the registration certificate itself but Finance Act 2020 has made some substantial changes in registration process and period for which approval will be given.
An application for fresh registration under section 80G will be given to Principal Commissioner or Commissioner. A provisional registration for 3 years will be given to organisations. The registration once granted shall be valid for three years from the Assessment Year from which the registration is sought. Application for renewal of such new registration needs to be submitted
– at least six months prior to the expiry of validity period or
– within 6 months from commencement if activities,
whichever is earlier.
The provisional registration so granted shall be valid for a period of 3 years and hence needs to be renewed at the end of the above mentioned timelines. The registration so renewed shall be valid only for 5 years and needs to be renewed at the end of each 5 years.
Earlier the approval u/s 80G was valid for perpetuity. The Finance Act 2020 provides that all the existing 80G approvals needs to be revalidated and the application for the same should be submitted within three months from 1st April 2021 i.e. on or before 30th June, 2021.
