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.
