I have signed up for payroll giving and every month an amount is being deducted from my salary. However, I received a receipt for Rs.0 (nil); why is that?

You will receive a receipt for Rs.0 (nil) as your monthly deductions are uploaded in your charity account by GiveIndia. This receipt cannot be used for tax purposes.

As you make a donation from the accumulated monthly deductions lying in your charity account at GiveIndia, you will receive another receipt. This receipt can be used for tax purposes.
