Online application for exemption under Section 80G
The Indian income tax laws exempt from income tax, any income received by any person, on behalf of any fund or institution established for charitable purposes or any trust established wholly for public, religious and charitable purposes or any educational institution existing solely for educational purposes. For this, the fund, trust or institution, as the case may may, should have obtained an approval from the Principal Commissioner or Commissioner of Income Tax by filing an application manually in this regard. It has been proposed that manual filing of these forms be done away with so as to ensure quicker processing of the applications and thereby reduce the interface between the department and the applicant.
