My GTI (excluding capital Gains) is Rs. 6,55,564 and STGC is Rs. 1,572. Thus Total Income is Rs. 6,57,136. I gave a donation to a charitable trust for Rs. 1,25,000.I have invested 1,20,000 for deduction u/s 80C and 80CCF. As per my Calulation, Deduction u/s 80G should be as below:- Adjusted GTI = 10% of (657136-120000) = 53714 50% of Donation = 62500 so least of the above,i.e., i should be able to claim Rs. 53714.
When i am trying to fill ITR2 for efiling i get the following calculation Adjusted GTI =10% of (655564-120000) = 53556 Amount eligible for claim u/s 80G = 50% of Adjusted GTI = 50% of 53556 = 26778
This amount is automatically coming in the return so please confirm which calculation is correct and how to file the return if my may is correct.

The problem is STCG. STCG U/s 111A is subjected to 15%. It is to be excluded while calculating adjusted GTI.

But the STGC is a small amount and my question is whether the deduction u/s 80G is :- 1) Lower of a) 50% of Donation and b) 10% of Adjusted GTI OR 2) 50% of (10% of Adjusted GTI) because in my case if i consider option 1 as correct the deduction u/s 80G should be Rs53714 whereas if i consider option 2, the deduction u/s 80G should be Rs26778 so which is actually correct
