Save 50% Tax with Section 80G

As the Union Budget for FY 2025-26 approaches, all eyes are on the proposed updates to income tax slabs and other incentives. While we await the key announcements on February 1, 2025, 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! 

Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, of 1961, allows donors to claim deductions on donations made to eligible funds, institutions, charities and trusts. Thus, donating to qualified NGOs not only changes lives but also allows you to save taxes.

For instance, if you donate Rs. 5,000 to an NGO eligible for a 50% deduction under Section 80G, you can claim a deduction of Rs. 2,500 from your taxable income—50% of the donation amount in one shot. This deduction applies to all donations subject to certain limits.

Avail the benefit of Section 80G by making donations before March 31, 2025, to save maximum taxes for AY 2025-26!

Key Guidelines for Section 80G

  • Deadline: Complete donations by March 31, 2025, to claim deductions for the AY 2025-26.
  • Form 10BE: Obtain this mandatory document from recipient NGOs after the financial year ends to validate your donation.
  • Eligibility Criteria: Only monetary contributions qualify; donations exceeding Rs. 2,000 in cash or donations in kind (such as materials, clothes, medicines, food, etc.) do not qualify for deduction.
