I have been donation for one organisation quite a few time. They are running schools for the underpriviledged and doing many good things.

As I have paid them some amount I thought of taking some tax deduction.

But if i ask the income tax certificate from the organisation the below reply i got from the organisation.

    In section 80G how much amount can one claim depends on the institution to which one donates.

    80GA : Donations entitled for 100% deduction without qualifying limit such as National defense fund , Prime minister relief fund etc.
