What your receipt is worth
- Half your gift is deductibleDonations to Jivanam Foundation qualify for a 50% deduction under Section 80G — give ₹10,000 and ₹5,000 comes off your taxable income.
- Old tax regime onlyThe 80G deduction can be claimed only if you file your return under the old tax regime.
- Cash above ₹2,000 doesn’t countThe law allows no 80G deduction for cash gifts over ₹2,000. UPI, bank transfer and cheque have no such limit.
- Check our certificate yourselfOur 80G, 12A and Section 8 registrations are downloadable from the legal documents page.
No — that form already requests your receipt, so please don’t submit the same payment twice. Use this page for a donation you haven’t told us about yet, such as a bank transfer, a cheque or an older payment.
Every 80G donation has to be reported to the Income Tax Department in Form 10BD, with the donor’s PAN and address. That report is what links the deduction to your return, so a receipt without a PAN can’t be used for 80G.
Your donation receipt is emailed within 3–5 working days, once the payment is matched. The official Form 10BE certificate follows after we file Form 10BD for the financial year — the deadline for that is 31 May.
Yes. Enter the original payment date. For the financial year that has just ended, please ask before 31 May so the donation can be included in that year’s Form 10BD.
For most donors the qualifying amount is capped at 10% of adjusted gross total income. Your tax adviser can confirm the exact figure for your return — we can’t give tax advice, but this guide to 80G, 12A and Section 8 explains the basics.
Your UPI app lists the UTR under transaction history, and your bank statement shows it against the payment. Still stuck? Send the payment screenshot on WhatsApp to +91 93109 69057 and we’ll find it.
