Our trust is registered under 12A and has 80G certification. What do we still need to file?
A 12A-registered trust must file ITR-7 annually, regardless of taxable income. Above ₹5cr receipts, you need Form 10B audit report; below that, Form 10BB. Donations need Form 10BD (donor statement) filed by May 31 each year — donors lose their 80G benefit if you miss this. OnGravy pre-fills all of these from your books so the auditor signs off instead of reconstructing.
We just got FCRA registration. What changes?
Three big things. (1) Foreign contributions must hit a single designated FCRA bank account at SBI, Main Branch, New Delhi — no other bank. (2) Quarterly online disclosure of all foreign contributions on the FCRA portal. (3) Cap of 20% on administrative expenses funded from FCRA money. The /dashboard/fcra page handles all three. Log each receipt; quarterly totals (Q1-Q4) roll up live for FC-1 prep; FY total feeds FC-4. Log each utilisation classified ADMIN vs PROGRAM; admin-spend ratio shown live against the 20% cap with a CAP BREACHED red banner if you cross it.
How do you handle the "85% application of income" rule?
Under §11 of the Income Tax Act, a 12A trust must apply at least 85% of its income to charitable purposes each year, or accumulate it (with Form 10 declaration) for up to 5 years for specified purposes. The /dashboard/trust-application page handles this — record FY total income + applied amount + accumulated amount + whether Form 10 is filed, and see live whether you are compliant or at risk. Effective applied = applied + (accumulated if Form 10 filed); compliant when effective ≥ 85% × total. Snapshots are audit-trailed via INSERT-only RLS so every revision is on record.
Can our board members get read-only access to see how funds are used?
Yes — invite board members as a "Trustee" role with read-only access to dashboards (general fund balance, project-specific spend, donor breakdown by source, audit trail). They cannot edit transactions or approve payments — that stays with the authorised executors. Standard governance practice; OnGravy makes it a one-click setup.
We are a small grassroots NGO with patchy field connectivity. Will this work?
For day-to-day field-office entry: partially. OnGravy is cloud-first and works best with stable connectivity. Our PWA offline cache lets field staff queue vouchers and view recent data when connectivity drops, but online filings (FCRA portal, ITR-7) need internet at the head office. If your team mostly works from a head office with reliable connectivity and field officers sync when they return, this is a strong fit. If your entire operation is in zero-connectivity areas, be honest about the network before switching.
