As we know that the donation made to the NGO’s which are registered under section 80G is tax exemption. Please note that many of us thinking that entire amount donated to the NGO’s are tax exempt. That is not fact, there is certain limitation and calculation required to find the eligible amount for the tax exemption.
To avail the tax exemption, the registration of that NGO under section 80G must a valid one. You can check their certificate for the verification.
The following are the rules for find the maximum eligible amount as the tax exemption.
- There is maximum of 50% of the total donation can be exempted. For example, if you are donating Rs.50000, you can exempt up to Rs.25000 from the total income.
- It can not exceed the 10% of your total income. For example, Your total annual income is Rs.500000. You can exempt up to Rs.50000. Even if you have donated more than Rs.50000, that will be ignored.
