Dear Anonymous, in ur case qualifying amount u/s 80G is 10% of GTI i.e., Rs. 4000/- and deduction shall be allowed 50% of qualifying amount - means Rs. 2000/-

1) 10 % of adjusted GTI (as clarified by you in 2nd query) is Rs.40,000/- 2) Donation paid (as per your 1st query) is Rs. 20,000/- 3) Maximum permissible donation is Rs.20,000/- being the least of 1) and 2) above. 4) Amount of deduction under section 80G is 50% of 3) above which comes to Rs.10,000/- Now do you see any error in my first observation.
