Professional fees

These are ACS professional fees, not statutory charges or an automatic annual package. Government fees, taxes, third-party charges, transaction volume and any additional work are confirmed separately before you proceed. Online payments remain inactive.

Timing and a practical next step

We confirm the applicable deadline and expected work plan after reviewing your records. Authority processing, missing documents and the relevant reporting period can affect timing.

Have pending work? Start with a review of what is already filed. A clear list of the remaining tasks is more useful than assuming every service applies to you.

Tax service names follow the ACS catalogue. The applicable law, form number and registration validity are confirmed for your reporting period, including the transition to the Income-tax Act, 2025 and Rules, 2026. Legal representation, audit opinions and certificates are provided only by the appropriately authorised professional or issuer.

Common questions

Does registration exempt every receipt?

No. Tax treatment depends on continuing conditions and the nature and use of receipts. Registration is not a blanket exemption for unrelated activity.

What if the department asks for clarification?

Respond against the actual question with indexed evidence and consistent dates. Keep a copy of the complete response and acknowledgement.

Is provisional approval the same as regular approval?

No. Read the conditions and dates in the actual order and plan the next application or conversion step before that date.

Can donors claim a deduction immediately?

The donation, donor, approval period and statutory conditions must qualify. Never advertise a deduction solely because an application has been submitted.

Does every donation qualify for deduction?

Deductibility depends on the donor, mode of donation, limits and applicable legal conditions. The organisation should issue compliant receipts and maintain records.

Is 12A connected with 80G?

They are distinct registrations but are often considered together because organisational tax exemption and donor deduction readiness are related.

What does the fee cover?

The listed amount is the ACS professional fee for the named service. Government fees, taxes, audit or certification-body charges and other third-party costs are confirmed separately in your quote. Multiple listed services are separate choices, not an automatic bundle.

How do I start?

Choose a listed service or request a consultation. ACS reviews your documents, confirms the scope and gives you a request reference. You can follow agreed work through the service panel. Online payments remain inactive for now.

What if I have pending work?

Share the existing records first. The team can identify missing filings, prioritise the next steps and confirm any applicable additional fees with you. No penalty waiver or authority approval is promised.
