FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need both Trust and Society registration?
No. An organisation chooses either a Trust structure or a Society structure (or a Section 8 Company) based on its objectives and applicable state law — not both.
Is 12A mandatory before applying for 80G?
Generally, 12A registration (income tax exemption for the organisation) is obtained first, and 80G (donor tax deduction) is applied for subsequently, subject to current Income Tax Department procedures.
Is CSR-1 registration mandatory to receive CSR funds?
Yes. Under the Companies Act, 2013, entities must be registered in Form CSR-1 with the MCA to be eligible to receive CSR contributions from companies.
Can RINSON BUSINESS obtain these registrations for us?
RINSON BUSINESS is a professional consultancy firm. We assist with documentation, drafting, online application filing, and coordination. Certificates and approvals are issued only by the respective competent authorities after verification and compliance with applicable requirements.
