dear members,

the income tax act required that a receipt having the details of the donee organisation be there for claiming a dedcution under section 80G. the recipt should mention the validity of the registration of the donee organisation under section 80G.  But these days many banks accept online donations. the banks just make a mention of this donation in the bank statement / passbook.

how can a person claim deduction u/s 80G for these payments ?  the donee organisation never send a receipt for this donation and the banks receipt seems to be not suitable under the income tax rules.


can anybody pls help?
