03 August 2010 A deduction would be allowable only if the charitable trust is registered with the Commissioner of Income - Tax and approval has been granted (a certificate is issued for the purpose of section 80G).

A 50% of donation is eligible for deduction subject to the 10% of gross total income

03 August 2010 Also, please note that these kind of deductions may not be allowed to salaried donors, while computingg TDS for their salary income. In fact, this deduction can be claimed by the donor assessee at the time of filing return.
