What is an 80G Certificate?

An 80G Certificate is a legal document granted by the Income Tax Department to an NGO or non-governmental organization such as a Section 8 Company or a charitable trust. The 80G Certificate is issued to encourage and promote the donors to contribute funds to such NGOs or non-profit organizations. Moreover, when the donor makes donations to such an organization, they will get a tax exemption of 50%  and also they become qualified to deduct such sum from their Gross Total Income. Furthermore, in order to obtain the tax exemption, the donor has to file the stamped receipt or document as evidence of the donation made. Such a receipt or document should have the name of the donor, date of contribution or donation made, and PAN number of the organization.
