  • Why should I donate for the education of tribal kids?
    Education for tribal kids empowers them to break the cycle of poverty, helps preserve their culture, and allows them to participate fully in the economy. Your donation directly impacts their future, providing them with essential skills and opportunities.
  • How will my donation be used?
    Your donation will be used to cover school supplies, teachers’ salaries, educational materials, infrastructure, scholarships, and extracurricular activities, ensuring that tribal children receive a holistic education.
  • Is my donation tax-deductible?
    Yes, most donations to registered NGOs and non-profits like Koyamu Seva Sansthan are tax-deductible under section 80G of the Income Tax Act, subject to terms and conditions. Under the PM Modi government, the provisions for tax deductions under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act have remained largely consistent, but there have been improvements in transparency and compliance procedures. Here's updated information on donations and tax deductions under Section 80G: Key Points on Section 80G Deductions: Eligible Donations: Donations made to certain funds, charitable institutions, and NGOs (like Koyamu Seva Sansthan) qualify for tax deductions under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act. Tax Deduction Rate: Donations to certain approved organizations are eligible for a 100% deduction (e.g., Prime Minister's National Relief Fund, National Defense Fund). Donations to other eligible institutions may qualify for a 50% deduction. Maximum Deduction Limit: The maximum deduction you can claim is 50% or 100% of the donation amount, depending on the institution's eligibility. However, this deduction is limited to 10% of the adjusted gross total income of the donor. Any excess amount cannot be carried forward. Digital Donation Encouragement: Under the Modi government’s push for Digital India, it’s encouraged that donations be made digitally (e.g., through UPI, credit cards, net banking) to ensure transparency. Donations made in cash above ₹2,000 are not eligible for deductions under Section 80G. Donations to Political Parties: If you donate to a political party, it will fall under Section 80GGB for individual taxpayers and will be 100% deductible, provided the donations are made digitally and not in cash. Receipts and Documentation: To claim a deduction, it is essential to retain a receipt from the organization that includes: Name of the NGO or trust PAN of the organization Registration number under Section 80G Amount donated (both in words and figures) This receipt must be attached when filing your income tax return. 80G Certificates: Charitable organizations must be registered under Section 80G to offer tax benefits to donors. The government has made the 80G certificate application process more stringent to ensure only genuine NGOs are approved. Renewal of 80G certificates is also periodically required under the new rules. Faceless Assessment & E-verification: The Modi government has introduced faceless assessments and e-verification systems to streamline the tax process and reduce human intervention. This ensures that charitable institutions claiming 80G exemptions maintain transparency, and donors can verify the legitimacy of their donation deductions. Example of Deductions: If your total annual income is ₹10,00,000 and you donate ₹1,00,000 to an eligible NGO, you may claim a deduction of ₹50,000 (if it falls under the 50% category). If your donation qualifies for 100%, you can deduct the full ₹1,00,000, as long as it doesn't exceed 10% of your total income. By following these guidelines and ensuring your donations go to 80G-registered organizations, you can take advantage of tax deductions while supporting important causes like education for tribal children.
