80G carry forward

I made a donation to TTD temple trust in 2018. I was not taxable in that year, and therefore I hadn't claimed exemption. Now that I'm taxable, I would like claim exemption for this past expense in the ITR of AY23-24. Is this 80G donation carry forward allowed ?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a donation made in 2018, for which exemption wasn't claimed due to being non-taxable at the time, can be carried forward to the AY23-24 tax return. The consensus is that 80G donations cannot be carried forward, meaning the exemption for the past expense cannot be claimed in the current tax year.

A big nooooo
No carry forward is applicable

80G can't be carried forward:
• 80G deduction is allowed only in the year the donation is made, against that year's income. There's no carry-forward of unclaimed donations to later years.
• If you weren't taxable in 2018, the deduction had no value then, and it can't be used in later years.
