It allows individuals (not companies) to deduct 100% of donations made to registered political parties or electoral trusts from their taxable income, provided the donation is made through digital or banking channels. There\u2019s no upper limit on the amount donated, but the benefit is available only under the old tax regime. To claim this deduction, donors must ensure the Election Commission or CBDT recognizes the recipient, retain official receipts, and report the amount under Schedule VI-A in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kanakkupillai.com\/income-tax-return-filing\">ITR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog, we will understand the meaning of Section 80GGC, its benefits, eligibility criteria, amount of deductions allowed, and the procedure for claiming deduction under Section 80GGC in detail.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Section 80GGC?<\/h2>\n<p>Section 80GGC provides income tax deductions to individuals who make contributions to political parties or electoral trusts.
