CLAIMING SEC 80GGC DONATION


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
An employee declared a donation under Section 80GGC for a deduction. The initial query was whether this could be considered when calculating TDS on salary. While initially suggested it could be shown in Form 16 under Chapter VI-A deductions, further clarification based on CBDT circulars confirms that 80GGC deductions are not permitted for TDS calculation on salaries, as it's not on the specified list of allowable deductions.

04 February 2020 80GGC deductions are not given to the employees for TDS calculation.
