How to Donate to an Old Age Home in India (and Claim 80G Tax Benefit)
A simple guide to donating online to an old age home in India, with details of UPI, card payments, and how 80G tax deduction works.
If you've ever wondered how to donate to an old age home in India and actually claim a tax benefit on it, this guide is for you.
Step 1 — Pick a registered trust
Look for organisations registered as charitable trusts with valid 80G approval. Blooming Heartz Foundation Trust, for instance, holds 80G Unique Registration No AAGTB1020KF20251 and PAN AAGTB1020K. The 80G number on the receipt is what your CA will need.
Step 2 — Decide what to give
On bloomingheartzfoundation.org/donate you can give any amount you choose. If you'd like guidance on what suits your sponsorship goal, contact us and we'll share the best quote.
Step 3 — Pay via UPI, card or netbanking
Most online donations to NGOs in India today use UPI — fast, free and secure. You can also pay via card or netbanking through Razorpay. After payment, the trust emails a stamped 80G receipt.
Step 4 — Claim 80G when filing
When you file ITR, deductions for 80G donations to old age homes and elder-care NGOs are entered under Chapter VI-A. Keep the receipt and the donation reference number handy.
