Using the deductions available under Section 80G, taxpayers can save tax while doing some good work. Section 80G of the I-T Act allows donations made to specified relief funds and charitable institutions as a deduction from gross total income before arriving at taxable income.
Some entities are not notified for donation purpose by the income tax department, so, be careful about which entity you donate to as you will not be able to claim any deduction on donations to unnotified entities. Also, even on donations to notified entities, you can claim 100 percent deduction only on donations to a specified list.
