My client is a Salaried Employee covered under 20% Tax slab. He has made donation of Rs.1,20,000/- to charitable institution u/s 80G(5) by cash. He has made donation in the name of his "swargwaasi" father on occasion of "punyatithi". So the receipt of donation is in his father's name.

So my question is that whether my client is allowed deduction u/s 80G as donation receipt is in his father's name ?

i think yes.... because the actual payment made by the employee himself.... so he can deduct it from the GTI...
