Dear Reader,
Our Hon’ble Finance Minister, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman will be presenting the Union budget tomorrow – charting out a roadmap for the Indian economy, and 1.4 billion Indians at large. While we await the key announcements, the real question is how can YOU contribute towards a better society, a better nation?
Did you know that tax incentives are provided to individuals engaging in philanthropic activities? You can donate to charities AND get 50% tax exemption on your donation!
Investment and insurance will help lower your taxable income and we’re certain you know how to maximize your allowances via Section 80C, 80D, etc. But did you know there’s a tax-saving gem in Section 80G? Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 allows tax payers to claim 50% or 100% deduction on donations to eligible funds, institutions, charities and trusts. Thus, donating to qualified NGOs not only changes lives but also allows you to save taxes.
Remember to complete all your donations by 31st March to get full tax advantage u/s 80G for this assessment year.
Donate to a cause that you resonate with and make a difference, starting from your own community. Your contribution, no matter the size, will have a lasting impact.
