07 August 2010 Maximum allowable deduction:- If aggregate of the sums donated exceed 10% of the adjusted gross total income, the amount in excess of 10% ceases to be entitled for tax benefit.

So in your case allowable amount is Rs.4000/-.

08 August 2010 Donation paid is Rs.20000/-.Allowable deduction is 50 % thereof means Rs.10,000/ only and not Rs. 20,000/- as said by Kansal Ji.

09 August 2010 But I think this 50% limit is not of the paid but of 10% of adjusted GTI.

09 August 2010 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.
