TAX EXEMPTION ON DONATIONS UNDER SECTION 80G

Charity is not just about making a difference in society; it is also an opportunity to reduce your taxable income through tax exemptions. The Government of India encourages donations to registered organizations by offering tax benefits under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act.

What is Section 80G?

Section 80G of the Income Tax Act allows individuals and companies to claim a deduction for donations made to eligible organizations. This deduction reduces the taxable income of the donor, providing them financial benefits while supporting social welfare.

Tax Benefits for Donations to Kritim Social Welfare Foundation

Kritim Social Welfare Foundation is a registered NGO under Section 12A and has been approved under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act. This ensures that all eligible donations to the foundation qualify for tax exemptions.

By contributing to Kritim Social Welfare Foundation, you are not only supporting causes like education, healthcare, women empowerment, and disaster relief but also reducing your taxable income. The foundation is committed to using your contributions to create a positive and lasting impact in society.

Individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), and companies can claim deductions under Section 80G if they:

• Donate to a registered and recognized charitable organization like Kritim Social Welfare Foundation.
