Section 80G Tax Benefits

Your generosity is rewarded. Save on taxes while making a difference.

What is Section 80G?

Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 allows donors to claim tax deductions on donations made to eligible charitable institutions. Donations through GAL Spark to registered trusts with 80G certification qualify for this benefit.

Who is Eligible?

Any individual or corporate taxpayer in India who donates to an 80G-registered trust through our platform can claim deductions. NRIs filing Indian tax returns are also eligible. The trust must hold a valid 80G certificate at the time of donation.

How Much Can You Save?

Donations qualify for a 50% deduction from your taxable income, subject to 10% of your adjusted gross total income. For example, if you donate ₹10,000, you can claim ₹5,000 as a deduction.

How to Claim the Deduction

1. Donate to an 80G-eligible campaign on GAL Spark. 2. Download your tax receipt from your donor dashboard. 3. Enter the donation details in Section 80G while filing your ITR. 4. Keep the receipt and trust PAN details for your records.

Required Documents

You will need: the 80G tax receipt (auto-generated by GAL Spark), the trust's PAN number, the trust's 80G registration number and validity period, and proof of payment (bank statement or transaction ID).

Example Calculation

Gross Total Income: ₹12,00,000. Donation: ₹50,000. Eligible deduction (50%): ₹25,000. 10% of GTI limit: ₹1,20,000 (your deduction is within this limit). Taxable income after 80G: ₹11,75,000. At the 20% slab, you save approximately ₹5,000 in taxes.
