We are happy to share that QMed has received the renewal of its 12A and 80G registrations from the Income Tax Department. These registrations are essential for nonprofit organizations in India and are an important part of ensuring transparency and compliance in the sector.
What are 12A and 80G Registrations?
12A registration allows a nonprofit organization’s income to be exempt from income tax, provided the funds are used for charitable purposes.
80G certification allows donors to claim tax deductions on donations made to the organization. This encourages philanthropic giving and supports charitable initiatives.

Why Renewals are Required
Recent regulatory changes require NGOs to revalidate or renew these registrations periodically. This helps the Income Tax Department ensure that organizations continue to operate in line with their charitable objectives and remain compliant with relevant regulations.
What the Process Involves
Renewal is not just a simple form submission. The process requires organizations to provide detailed documentation, including financial statements, activity reports, governance information, and supporting records about the organization’s work.
Preparing these submissions requires careful record-keeping and well-organized documentation of both financial and program activities. It is a reminder that running a nonprofit involves not only meaningful work on the ground but also strong systems and transparent reporting.
A Team Effort
We are fortunate that the QMed team does an excellent job of maintaining records and documentation throughout the year, which makes processes like these possible.
We are also grateful to the CA firm – “V G V S & Co” that helped register our Trust, who now helped us with this renewal.
Why This Matters
While such regulatory work often happens quietly behind the scenes, it plays an important role in ensuring that nonprofits operate with accountability, transparency, and trust — values that are central to our work at QMed.
