Section 80G

 Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provides tax benefits to the donors who make donations to specified institutions and charitable trusts. 


Under this section, donations made to eligible institutions and trusts can be claimed as deductions from the taxable income of the donor. The amount of deduction available varies from 50% to 100% of the donation amount, depending upon the type of institution and the nature of the donation.


To claim the deduction under this section, the donor must obtain a receipt or certificate from the institution or trust, as proof of the donation.


Some of the eligible institutions and trusts include:


- The Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund

- NGOs engaged in charitable activities such as relief for the poor, education, medical relief, and preservation of environment and monuments

- Scientific research institutions

- Institutions sponsoring rural development

- Political parties 

- Some religious institutions


It is important to note that not all donations to these institutions and trusts are eligible for deductions and the donation must be made through cheque, bank transfer or any other digital transaction, to claim the benefits under section 80G.
