A clear explanation of how Section 80G works, who qualifies, how much deduction you can claim, and how to get your 80G receipt when donating through FundsForAll.
Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961, provides a tax incentive for individuals and organisations that donate to eligible charitable institutions. When you donate to an NGO with valid 80G registration, you can deduct a portion of your donation from your taxable income.
This means you pay less in taxes while supporting causes you care about. On FundsForAll, 80G receipts are generated automatically for eligible donations.
The deduction reduces your taxable income, not your tax amount directly. The actual tax saving depends on your slab.
Example: In the 30% bracket with a Rs 25,000 deduction, your tax saving is Rs 7,500 plus cess.
Income: Rs 12 lakh. Donation: Rs 2 lakh to a "50% with limit" NGO.
Any taxpayer — individual, HUF, company, firm, or any other assessee.
When you donate to an 80G-eligible campaign on FundsForAll, your receipt is generated automatically and available in your donor dashboard as a downloadable PDF.

Section 80G of the Income Tax Act allows taxpayers to claim deductions on donations made to eligible charitable organisations, reducing taxable income.
Yes. The payment method does not matter as long as the receiving NGO is 80G-registered. Digital payments are preferred — cash donations above Rs 2,000 do not qualify.
No minimum amount. However, cash donations exceeding Rs 2,000 do not qualify. Use digital payment methods.
