26 December 2009 sir,
If the Company pays Rs. 300000 in cash to a trust or assocation as donation for poor children.
But the receipt can not be obtained from that trust or assocaiton but they are ready to give it in written in their letter head.
can this be allowed as business expenditure under income tax act?

Moreover any donation above Rs. 500/- should be made by Crossed Cheque and Donee Organisation must have expemtion certificate from IT Dept.

Donation is allowed as deduction under chapter VI A of IT act under section 80 G
