Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether donations made to an Association of Persons (AOP) can be claimed as a deduction under Chapter 6A of the Income Tax Act. To be eligible for a deduction, the AOP must be registered under Section 12A and have obtained specific permission under Section 80G. If the registration number or 80G exemption status isn't immediately apparent on the donation receipt, it's advisable to check the document's footer or contact the donee organisation directly for confirmation.

No, unless the organization is registered under sec. 12A and obtained permission to get donation u/s. 80G IT act.

@ dhirajlal....... i can see only see reg. no. 56/2017 on receipt of dontion apart frm genrral info like amt,donor etc....how can i know whether registered under sec 12a or not......

Check at the bottom for any exemption under sec. 80G.

or ask the Donee for any exemption availability for the donation given.

Only if the AOP holds 80G approval:

• Sec 80G allows a deduction only for donations to funds or institutions approved under Sec 80G(5) (or specifically listed funds). An AOP (association, club, informal group) without 80G approval doesn't qualify.

• Check for a valid 80G approval number (AAAAA…F2024…) on the receipt, and get Form 10BE. The donation must appear in the donee's Form 10BD for the claim to go through.

• Cash donations above Rs 2,000 aren't deductible. 80G is not available in the new regime.

• If the AOP is a political party (registered under the RP Act), 80GGC applies instead.
