[Wikimediaindia-l] Global Fund raising Support to Indian Currency

[Sudhanwa Jogalekar]

Hi,

Many organisations registered as societies are facing problems because
of their registration for 80G exemption. The I Tax procedures are too
time consuming and needs lot of your time/manpower and other
resources.

Some of my friends who suffered because of 80G registrations advised
not to go for 80G. If someone is asking for exemption, just cut off
that much money and take that much less donations.

Unless the amounts received are real HUGE, it is not worth going for
80G registration.

Well, the choice is yours.(I mean the chapter in this case)

...my 2 paisa...
