Such donations are 100% tax exempted under Section 35 (i) (ii) or 35 (i) (iii) of the Indian Income Tax Act.

50% for projects

Donations for all other projects in Auroville, such as Housing, Farms, Forest, etc. are 50% tax exempted for Indian citizens under section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act. Clearly earmark the project of your choice and indicate your wish to avail the exemption.

Tax Exemption Receipts
