I understand from the query that the date of payment/receipt date falls in financial year 2008-09. So 80G exemption had to be claimed in that year. Now only solution I find is revise the return already filed through which avail the deduction. In other words it can't be claimed for financial year 2009-10.
The Payment was made by you in the last year itself, hence you cant able to claim for exemption in this year.If you have filed your returns with in the due date then you can make the revised return for claimimg the deduction for the Previous year.

I agree with the expert. and to clerify you about your doubt regarding "the receipt says that it is valid from 01.04.2008 to 31.03.2011" it is not for receipt but 80G benifit is valid for donation given during these period.

First of all which I understand you are talking about TDS because when I see all the facts you provided shows as employer requires proof of investment in Jan or Feb. Then I want to tell you if you had been provided this receipt than also employers can't give you deduction in TDS as for TDS 80G can't be considered. Now if you have filed your return u/s 139(1) without considering 80G then you can revise return and this will be available to you there is no problem in that.
