Donation limit

As far as my knowledge goes, there is no limit on the amount one can donate. If one has accumulated legitimate savings and wants to donate from these savings an amount that exceeds his annual income, there should be no issue. Even if the Income-Tax Dept. raises a query, one should be able to reply properly showing the source of funds from which the donation was made.

However, there are limits up to which deductions from taxable income can be claimed for donations made to approved recipients of donations, under Sec 80G, 80GGA, etc.
