An individual can claim deduction only for contributions made to Regd. Political Parties or Electoral Trusts u/s 80GGC.. But payment should not be in cash.

If the political expense you have mentioned.. is not by way of contribution to Regd parties.. then you cant claim any deduction.

Sry sanjay sir.... Again thanx to u
But my problem is that if such expenditures related to myself MLA elections, whether can i claim?

No. If expense is not by way of contribution to a regd party.. then you are not allowed to claim dedn...

 

That means i cant claim such huge expenditures if 50 lacs in my itr return
*of 50

Yes. Expenditure for meeting personal political expenses cannot be claimed as dedn...regardless of the amount involved.

Besides.. The department may sometimes enquire about the source of funds for such huge political expenses....
