It captures:

  • Donor details

  • Amount of donation received

  • Eligibility under Section 80G or Section 35

Based on Form 10BD, the Income Tax Department generates Form 10BE, which donors use to claim tax deductions.

  • Trusts registered under Section 12AB

  • Institutions approved under Section 80G(5)

  • Research institutions approved under Section 35

If your organisation accepts donations with tax benefit claims, Form 10BD compliance is compulsory.
