Dear sirs.

I paid donation of Rs.70000 to a educational charitable trust by cash instead of cheque or other means by unknowingly. Now i came to know only Rs 2000 can be taken under section 80 G for tax exception. Is there any chance to gdt excemption for the full amount. I am already in 20% tax slap.kindly suggest me.

Quick Summary

A user paid a significant cash donation to a charitable trust and is seeking to claim tax exemption under Section 80G. Unfortunately, donations exceeding Rs. 2,000 paid in cash are generally not eligible for deduction. As the trust has already issued receipts and filed returns, it's unlikely the donor can claim the full exemption.

No chance becoz receipts for donations by Donee have been issued and return filed by Donee. Donor has no way out to claim 80G in view of cash donation.
