Important clarification
The information above reproduces the registration and approval details in the documents supplied for this website. Donors and partners should inspect the downloadable orders and independently verify any tax-deduction or CSR requirements applicable to their transaction. Registration under Section 12AB does not by itself establish a donor’s entitlement to claim an 80G deduction.

For stronger donor confidence, CAR can maintain a current documentation pack with its latest annual narrative report, audited financial statements, registration and approval orders, approved policies, programme budgets and outcome-monitoring summaries.
Where information is not yet available for public release, a clear statement of status is better than an unsupported claim. Personal information, beneficiary identities and sensitive community data should be protected.
