Request Experts to give their opinion on the reply given by the I-T Dept. to my Grievance on the above topic. I have given below the I-T Dept.'s clarification (at the end of the webpage mentioned below).

In brief, the issue is: whether the maximum deduction allowed on 80G donations (subject to limits) is 10% of the AGTI or 5% of the AGTI as is now calculated by the System. The response to my Grievance implies that the maximum deduction allowed will be 5%. What is the correct interpretation of the law?

Thank you.
