27 March 2026 • ✔️ 80G deduction is available for both corpus and normal donations
• ✔️ Corpus donation = capital contribution with specific direction (Sec 11(1)(d))
• ✔️ Normal donation = regular income of trust (Sec 11)
• ✔️ Key difference is usage & tax treatment for trust, not for donor deduction
• ⚠️ Proper documentation (donor direction + receipt wording) is critical
