80G Registration
Make donations deductible for your donors.
An 80G registration lets a donor deduct, in most cases, 50% of what they give. It is what makes serious fundraising possible, and it is a separate application from 12A even though the two are usually filed together.
Since 2021 the deduction is matched. The NGO must report every donation in Form 10BD by 31 May and issue the donor a certificate in Form 10BE. A donation the NGO does not report is a deduction the donor cannot claim, whatever receipt they hold.
That has shifted the burden onto the organisation: 80G is no longer a certificate on the wall but an annual filing obligation with a donor-facing consequence.

Questions
Can a donor claim 80G if the NGO does not file Form 10BD?
No. Since the 2021 change the deduction is matched against the NGO's Form 10BD filing. If the donation is not reported by 31 May, the donor's claim fails regardless of the receipt they were given.
