In this case ₹67,100 being 10% of adjusted total income is the qualifying limit, in this case. Firstly, donation of ₹40,000 to approved institution for family planning qualifying for 100% deduction subject to qualifying limit, has to be adjusted against this amount. Therefore, donation to public charitable trust qualifying for 50% deduction, subject to qualifying limit is adjusted. Hence, the contribution ₹1,50,000 to public charitable trust is restricted to ₹27,100 (being ₹67,100-40,000) 50% of which would be the deduction under section 80G. Therefore, the deduction under section 80G in respect of donation to public charitable trust would be ₹13,550 which is 50% of ₹27,100.
