What is Donate on PhonePe?

The Donate option on PhonePe allows you to securely donate to causes, NGOs, and religious institutions listed on the app. You can make your donations using UPI, a debit card, or your PhonePe Wallet.

For every donation to an NGO or a cause, you will receive an 80G certificate issued by the NGO you’ve donated to or by our partner, GiveIndia. With this certificate, you can claim a tax exemption on 50% of the donated amount. However, you will not receive an 80G certificate for a donation you’ve made to a religious institution.

You can donate a maximum of ₹50,000 per payment to a cause, an NGO or a religious institution.

Note: For any donation exceeding ₹50,000 in one year, through single or multiple donations, you will need to submit your PAN card details to GiveIndia, the NGO you’ve donated to or the religious institution. They will contact you on the email ID provided by you to collect the details.

What is an 80G certificate?

An 80G certificate is a tax exemption certificate awarded to individuals who make donations to registered charitable trusts, NGOs, and organisations. If you make donations to any of the listed NGOs or causes on PhonePe, you will receive an 80G certificate from the NGO you’ve donated to or GiveIndia through which you can claim a tax exemption on 50% of the donated amount.

Note: You will receive an 80G certificate only for donations to NGOs and causes and not for donations to religious institutions.
