What is Section 80G
Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 allows donors to claim tax deductions on donations made to eligible charitable organizations. When an organization is registered under 80G, donors can reduce their taxable income by the amount donated, within specified limits. This encourages donations and supports fundraising.
What is 80G Registration
80G registration enables an organization to receive donations that qualify for tax deductions. It benefits both donors and NGOs—donors get tax relief, and NGOs gain credibility and funding. The Finance Act 2020 introduced new rules including annual return filing, verification by the Income Tax Department, and possible revocation for non-compliance.
