Donation limit and exemption

This discussion explores tax exemption possibilities for a significant donation made to Srisailam temple for building a pilgrim room. The user, earning 45 lakhs annually and paying substantial tax, seeks to understand if this donation qualifies for exemption under Section 80G. Advice suggests that while donations can offer tax benefits, there are specific limits based on adjusted total income and the type of charitable trust involved, with a potential maximum claim of around 2 lakhs in this scenario.
