    What's the story

    In India, yoga is not just a form of exercise but a tradition that dates back thousands of years.

    Recognizing its importance, the Indian government offers various income tax benefits to promote yoga practice.

    This article explores the major clauses and sections of the Income Tax Act that provide financial incentives for individuals and organizations involved in yoga.

    Donation benefits

    Exemption under Section 80G

    Donations to institutions promoting yoga are tax deductible under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act.

    Individuals can claim a deduction of up to 50% on donations made to such institutions, with no maximum limit.

    This provision fosters financial support for yoga institutions, helping to promote and preserve this ancient practice throughout India.

    Yoga institutions registered as charitable trusts or societies can enjoy tax exemption under Section 10(23C).

    They need to be engaged exclusively in educational activities or relief work, which includes promotion of yoga.

    This exemption allows them to dedicate more resources toward promoting yoga awareness and training, free from the burden of tax liabilities.

    This benefit allows these organizations to dedicate their resources to the important work of educating and advocating for yoga.
