Why we ask this
Section 12A makes the trust or society's own surplus exempt from income tax, provided 85% of receipts go to the stated charitable purpose. Section 80G works on the other side — it lets donors deduct 50% or 100% of their contribution from their taxable income, which is what actually unlocks meaningful donations. New entities apply on Form 10A for provisional registration valid for three years, then on Form 10AB for regular (five-year) registration once the activity record is built up. The CIT(E) office reviews the charitable objects and activity record first — so this is what the form opens with.
