How to Get Tax Benefits While Donating in India ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ“œ

Did you know that your charitable donations can help you save on taxes? Under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, donations to eligible organizations can provide significant tax deductions. But how do you claim these benefits, and what should you know before donating? In this blog, we break down the tax advantages of giving, the documentation you need, and how donating to FRST Foundation can make a real impact while offering you financial relief.

Did you know that your generosity can also help you save on taxes? Donations to registered charitable organizations in India not only create a positive impact but can also qualify for tax deductions under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act. This means you can support a cause close to your heart while also reducing your taxable income.

In this guide, weโ€™ll break down how you can claim tax benefits when donating and how FRST Foundation ensures your contributions make a real difference.


Understanding Section 80G: How Does It Work?

Section 80G of the Income Tax Act allows individuals and businesses to claim deductions on donations made to eligible charitable organizations. The key points to remember:

โœ… Eligibility โ€“ Donations must be made to an organization registered under Section 80G.
โœ… Deduction Limit โ€“ Some donations qualify for a 100% deduction, while others allow for 50%.
โœ… Mode of Payment โ€“ To claim benefits, donations should be made via cheque, bank transfer, or digital payment. Cash donations above โ‚น2,000 are not eligible.
โœ… Receipt & Certificate โ€“ Ensure you receive a donation receipt and an 80G certificate from the NGO.

How Much Tax Can You Save?

Letโ€™s say your taxable income is โ‚น10,00,000 and you donate โ‚น50,000 to an eligible NGO under 50% deduction criteria. Your tax deduction will be:

๐Ÿ”น Deductible Amount = โ‚น50,000 ร— 50% = โ‚น25,000
๐Ÿ”น New Taxable Income = โ‚น10,00,000 – โ‚น25,000 = โ‚น9,75,000

By donating, you lower your taxable income and contribute to a meaningful causeโ€”win-win!
