Regarding the **ceiling limit under Section 12AA for PAN collection from donors**:
* The **limit is Rs. 10,000**, meaning that if a donation is **equal to or exceeds Rs. 10,000**, then the trust or organization should obtain the PAN details of the donor.
So, itโs **โฅ Rs. 10,000** (greater than or equal to 10,000), not strictly greater than 10,000.

**Summary:**
* Donations **of Rs. 10,000 or more** โ PAN of donor must be obtained. * Donations **below Rs. 10,000** โ No mandatory requirement to collect PAN.

This is consistent with the reporting and documentation requirements for trusts and entities registered under Section 12AA of the Income Tax Act, especially for audit and exemption purposes.
