Frequently Asked Questions

BSS is registered under Section 80G — now Section 133 of the Income-tax Act, 2025, which replaced the 1961 Act on 1 April 2026 (Registration: AAATB9592L25JP02, valid AY 2027-28 to 2031-32). Whether you can claim it depends on your tax regime: the deduction is available under the OLD regime, and the default new regime under Section 115BAC does not allow it. So a 50% deduction is claimable if you file under the old regime, and if you have not opted out of the default you should check with your tax adviser before counting on it. Either way, share your PAN when you give — we report donations to the Income Tax Department and your certificate is generated from that filing. A receipt is emailed after every donation.
