Section 80G of the Income Tax Act 1961 allows individuals and organizations to claim deductions on donations made to eligible charities. Obtaining an 80G certificate means your organization has been by the Income Tax Department as eligible to receive donations that qualify for tax exemptions.ors contributing to these organizations can deduct up to a specified limit from their taxable income, thereby reducing their tax liability and promoting charitable giving.
What is 80G registration
80G registration allows donors to obtain tax deductions on contributions made to approved charitable organizations.
This registration offers tax advantages to both donors and recipients. Charitable organizations that are registered under Section 80 can receive tax-deductible donations, and donors can claim deductions for their contributions when filing their income tax returns.
The Finance Act 2020 brought changes to the 80G registration rules in India. These changes include a requirement for registered organizations to submit annual returns, verification of donees by the Income Tax Department, and the potential for reassessment and revocation of registrations due to non-compliance.
