Charitable trust registration and 80G approval require Form 10A for fresh application, then Form 10AB later.
Registration under Section 12AB and approval under Section 80G are governed by a common procedural framework under Rule 11AA/11AB and the notified forms. For fresh registration and simultaneous 80G approval, the application must be made in Form 10A through the prescribed electronic mode. Form 10A applies to fresh registration of a charitable or religious trust or institution and fresh approval under Section 80G. After provisional registration or approval, Form 10AB is required for regular registration or approval within the prescribed time limits. (AI Summary)
