Want to know the limit & % of exemption from I.T. i.e. if we have made paid donation rs. 5000/- then how much is exempted from I.T. If full donation is not exempted, then what entries to be passed for bal. of donation paid ? shud it be expensed off or trf. to partners capital ?

The list is too long but the rough idea is that you get 100% for flood relief, desaster etc and 50% for Gandhi fund , Nehru fund etc

you can't charge of to P/L account as this is not an business exp.. You do one thing, show this as expense only, then add back this as expenses not deductable from income. If you transfer it to partner's capital, it will be drawings for that partner and your firm will not be able to claim deduction U/s 80G.
