What Is NGO and Non-Profit Accounting?

Definition: Specialised financial management where income must be applied exclusively for charitable objects, fund receipts tracked by source/purpose, and compliance under IT Act (S.11/12A/80G), FCRA 2010, and applicable registration act determines tax-exempt status.

Delhi context: Proximity to central regulators means faster scrutiny. Form 10B if income >Rs 5Cr. Form 10BD by 31 May. Surplus ≤15% (S.11(1)(a)). FCRA: FC-4 by 31 Dec, SBI Sansad Marg, admin ≤20%.

Key terms: Fund Accounting (segregated general/restricted/corpus/project funds), FCRA (foreign contribution), 12A (tax exemption), 80G (donor deduction), CSR-1 (corporate CSR eligibility).

See Accounting Services for general business accounting.

Common NGO Accounting Challenges in Delhi

ServiceWhat We Do
FCRA Post-2020 RigourSBI Sansad Marg mandatory. Admin ≤20%. Sub-granting restricted. MHA Jan 2025 warning: penal action for non-compliance. Fund segregation critical
12A/80G 5-Year RenewalPerpetual registrations now need 5-year renewal. Missing window = entire income taxable at max marginal rate. Devastating for grant-funded NGOs
Multi-Donor Fund Management10-30 funding sources per large Delhi NGO. Each with different format, currency, FY, compliance. Without fund accounting = unreliable donor reports
CSR DocumentationDelhi corporate HQs = major CSR source. CSR-1 required. Project-wise utilisation + certificates. Incomplete docs = refused future funding
S.11 Surplus BreachMust apply 85% of income. 15% accumulation allowed. Above 15% needs Form 10 + Board resolution. Fluctuating grants = inadvertent breach
