Yes, as per amendment in section 80G  provide that no deduction shall be allowed under the section 80G in respect of donation of any sum exceeding two thousand rupees unless such sum is paid by any mode other than cash.
This amendment will take effect in relation to the assessment year 2018-19 and subsequent years.

thanks for replyng. But there are so many trust who are not registered u/s 80G but can they take donation in cash above Rs. 2000

 

There deductions under section 80G not available, but section 269ST attracts.

Secondly, The Trust has to keep record of persons when receiving voluntary contribution in trusts or other charitable institutions (other than religious institutions) such as name, address, PAN otherwise it can be taxed at Maximum marginal rate as anonymous donations as per Section 115BBC of the Income Tax Act’1961.

what about those trust who have not 80 G approval. ?

Sir,

Is Charitable Trust can take the donation in cash above 2000.00?
 

This amendment is for claiming deduction u/s 80G and does not pose any restriction on trust accepting cash reciept over Rs. 2,000/-. However one has to keep in mind provisions of section 269ST as mentioned above (i.e Rs. 2,00,000/-) !! 

Can religious trust a wept cash more than 2,000 or 10,000??

Whether the limit of 2000 is per year or per receipt.
