If you've donated to Keshav Foundation and are wondering whether you can claim it on your taxes — the short answer is yes.
We are registered under Section 80G
Keshav Foundation is a registered non-profit and holds valid registration under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, which allows donors to claim a tax deduction on eligible contributions. This is separate from — and in addition to — our status as a registered charitable organization.
What you need to actually claim it
To claim the deduction when filing your taxes, you'll typically need:
- A donation receipt in your name, with the amount and date of your contribution (we send this automatically for every donation).
- Our 80G registration details, which appear on the certificate issued to donors.
- PAN details on file, since deductions are linked to your tax filing.
About our certificate
We're currently in the process of uploading our 80G certificate directly to this website so donors can access it instantly. Until that's live, this is not a barrier to your deduction — it just means one extra step: contact us after you donate, and our team will email you a copy of the certificate along with your official donation receipt within a few business days.
A quick note on deduction limits
Section 80G deductions aren't always a flat percentage, and the applicable rate can depend on the registration category and government updates from year to year. Rather than us stating a specific percentage that might change, we'd recommend confirming the exact deductible amount with your chartered accountant or tax advisor using the details on your certificate — we're happy to answer any questions about our registration in the meantime.
Why this matters beyond your tax filing
Every rupee donated to Keshav Foundation goes directly toward keeping girls in badminton — kits, coaching, nutrition, and scholarships. Being 80G-registered means your generosity goes further at tax time too, without changing where the money goes. See exactly where your donation goes or view our giving tiers to contribute.
