Amount Donated to Charitable Trust/Society - 50% Exemption for Individuals.

(If Organization having  80GCertificate).

Nuthan

 

Deduction amount U/s. 80G:- Donations paid to specified institutions qualify for tax deduction under section 80G but is subject to certain ceiling limits. Based on limits, we can broadly divide all eligible donations under section 80G into four categories:

a) 100% deduction without any qualifying limit (e.g., Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund).

b) 50% deduction without any qualifying limit (e.g., Indira Gandhi Memorial Trust).

c) 100% deduction subject to qualifying limit (e.g., an approved institution for promoting family planning).

d) 50% deduction subject to qualifying limit (e.g., an approved institution for charitable purpose other than promoting family planning).

For list of Institution donation to whom is eligible to 100% deduction without any qualifying limit,  eligible to 50% deduction without any qualifying limit,  100% & Subject to qualifying limit and of those eligible for 50% deduction subject to qualifying limit please check the link given below:-

Qualifying Limit:- The qualifying limits u/s 80G is 10% of the adjusted gross total income. The limit is to be applied to the adjusted gross total income. The ‘adjusted gross total income’ for this purpose is the gross total income (i.e. the sub total of income under various heads) reduced by the following:

  • Amount deductible under Sections 80CCC to 80U (but not Section 80G)
  • Exempt income
  • Long-term capital gains
  • Income referred to in Sections 115A, 115AB, 115AC, 115AD and 115D, relating to non-residents and foreign companies.

Eligible Donation:- There are thousands of trusts registered in India that claim to be engaged in charitable activities. Many of them are genuine but some are untrue. In order that only genuine trusts get the tax benefits, the Government has made it compulsory for all charitable trusts to register themselves with the Income Tax Department. And for this purpose the Government has made two types of registrations necessary u/s. 12A & U/s. 80G. Only if the trust follows the registration U/s. 12A, they will get the tax exemption certificate, which is popularly known as 80G certificate. The government periodically releases a list of approved charitable institutions and funds that are eligible to receive donations that qualify for deduction. The list includes trusts, societies and corporate bodies incorporated under Section 25 of the Companies Act 1956 as non-profit companies.
