What is section 80G(5)?
All you need to know about the section 80G(5)?
Doing charity is a noble task. Not only is it recognized by the divine, but it is also acknowledged by the Income Tax Department. With 80G registration under the Income Tax Act, you gain more than just good karma from donating to charitable institutions. Section 80G of the Income Tax Act provides a tax deduction for contributions to certain prescribed charitable institutions. Specifically, 80G registration focuses on donations made for charitable purposes, while Section 80G(5) registration addresses the limitations on tax exemptions for donations made under Section 80G.
Registration under 80G(5) of the Income Tax Act offers benefits to NGOs. When an NGO possesses an 80G registration certificate, donors receive a financial benefit by reducing their taxable income. If an NGO obtains 80G registration, donors can claim a 50% deduction from their taxable income. By securing 80G registration, an NGO can attract more donors.
If an NGO gets itself registered under section 80G(5) then the person or organisation making a donation to the NGO will get a deduction of 50% from his / its taxable income.
