Here's an overview of the audit requirements for organizations approved under Section 80G:
Mandatory Audit: Organizations approved under Section 80G are
generally required to undergo an annual audit of their accounts. This audit is
conducted to ensure that the organization's financial statements accurately
reflect its financial position and comply with relevant laws and regulations.
Chartered Accountant (CA) Audit: The audit of organizations approved under Section 80G
must be conducted by a practicing Chartered Accountant (CA) in India. The CA
examines the organization's financial records, transactions, and internal
controls to express an opinion on the fairness and accuracy of the financial statements.
Income Tax Return Filing: Following the completion of the audit, the
organization must file its income tax return with the Income Tax Department.
The audit report prepared by the CA is typically submitted along with the
income tax return.
Due Date for Audit and Filing: The due date for conducting the audit and filing the
income tax return varies depending on the organization's structure and other
factors. Generally, the audit must be completed and the income tax return must
be filed within a specified period after the end of the financial year.
Compliance and Penalties: Non-compliance with the audit requirements under
Section 80G can result in penalties and other consequences imposed by the
Income Tax Department. It's crucial for organizations approved under Section
80G to adhere to the audit requirements and maintain proper financial records
to ensure compliance with the law.
Overall, the "80G audit" refers to the audit process conducted for organizations approved under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961, to ensure compliance with income tax laws and regulations and maintain their eligibility for donors to claim deductions on their contributions.

An 80G audit is a compliance verification process for charitable organisations holding 80G registration to ensure that donations received are genuine, properly utilised, and eligible for tax deductions.
It ensures your organisation remains eligible under Section 80G, protects donor tax benefits, and strengthens transparency and accountability in how donations are managed.
Every charitable trust, NGO, or Section 8 company registered under 80G that receives donations qualifying for tax deductions must undergo periodic audit and compliance review.
A qualified Chartered Accountant (CA) registered with ICAI can carry out and certify your 80G audit.
Essential documents include 80G registration certificates, donor receipts, income and expenditure statements, bank statements, donation ledgers, and fund-utilisation reports.
The auditor reviews donation records, verifies utilisation of funds, cross-checks receipts, and ensures compliance with Section 80G norms before issuing the audit report.
Generally, it takes 7–15 working days, depending on record availability and organisational size.
