Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that there is no legal upper limit on the amount an individual can donate in the UK. Even if a donation exceeds your annual income, it's permissible as long as the funds come from legitimate savings. While the Income Tax Department may inquire about large donations, providing proof of the source of funds should suffice. However, it's important to note that there are specific limits on the amount of donations you can claim as a tax deduction under sections like 80G.

If the amount is above the basic exemption limit , can ask.

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.
