Calculation of 80G deduction

297 views 1 replies

Hi,

My Adjusted Gross Total Income for FY20-21 is Rs. 6,00,000.

I have made donations under category D ("Donations entitled for 50% deduction subject to qualifying limits") of Rs. 1,00,000.

One advisor is saying that I am eligible for 80G deduction of Rs. 50,000 - 

     Mimimum [10% of AdjustedGross , 50% of TotalDonation] 

     = Minimum [60000, 50000] = 50,000
 

Another advisor is saying that I am eligible for deduction of Rs. 30,000. 

     50% of Miniumum [10% of AdjustedGross, TotalDonation]

     = 50% of Minimum [60000, 100000] = 50% of 60000 = 30,000

Can someone please clarify what is the correct interpretation?

Deduction would be limited to 30k. The method of computation is explained below:

1) Gross qualifying amount = 100k (actual donation)

2) Net qualifying amount = 60k (gross qualifying amount or 10% of adjusted GTI, whichever is lower)

3) Amount deductible = 30k (50% of net qualifying amount)
