Do donations to Children Education NGOs qualify for tax exemption? - sakshi - 12-10-2025
Yes, donations made to a registered Children Education NGO in India can qualify for tax exemption under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act. This benefit is designed to encourage individuals, NRIs, and corporates to support education-focused non-profits that work with underprivileged children. When you donate to an NGO that holds a valid 80G certificate, you can claim a 50% or 100% deduction on the donated amount while filing your income tax return.
To ensure your donation is eligible, it must be made through banking channels such as UPI, net banking, cheque, debit/credit card, or online transfer. Cash donations above ₹2,000 do not qualify for deductions. After contributing, you must collect an official 80G receipt from the NGO. This receipt should include the NGO’s PAN, address, 80G registration number, donation amount, and your name.
Supporting a Children Education NGO not only helps improve learning outcomes for disadvantaged kids but also allows you to enjoy legitimate tax exemption on donations made. This makes your contribution more impactful by giving back to society while saving on taxes. It’s a meaningful way to create change with financial transparency and trust.
