*📜सदक़ा-ए-फ़ित्र की ज़रूरी मालूमात*

सदक़ा-ए-फ़ित्र हर साहिब-ए-निसाब पर *वाजिब* है और इसे ईद की सुबह सादिक़ के बाद और नमाज़-ए-ईद से पहले अदा करना *अफ़ज़ल* है। अगर चाहे तो रमज़ान से पहले भी अदा कर सकता है।

*फ़ित्रा की मिक़दार आधा साअ गेहूं या उसका आटा या सत्तू, या एक साअ जौ, खजूर या मुनक्का, या इन की कीमत* इन चार के अलावा अगर किसी दूसरी चीज़ से फ़ित्रा अदा करना चाहे, मसलन चावल, ज्वार, बाजरा या और कोई अनाज या और कोई चीज़ देना चाहे तो *क़ीमत का लिहाज़ करना होगा,* यानी वो चीज़ आधे साअ गेहूं या एक साअ जौ की क़ीमत के बराबर हो। यहां तक कि रोटी दें तो उसमें भी क़ीमत का लिहाज़ किया जाएगा, अगरचे गेहूं या जौ की हो।

फ़ित्रा के मसारिफ वही हैं जो ज़कात के हैं, यानी वो लोग जो ज़कात के मुस्तहिक़ हैं, उन्हें फ़ित्रा भी दिया जा सकता है। गैर मुस्तहिक़ को देना जाइज़ नहीं। नाबालिग बच्चों का फ़ित्रा वालिद के ज़िम्मे होगा।
अपनी औरत और आक़िल बालिग़ औलाद का फ़ित्रा उसके ज़िम्मे नहीं, चाहे वो मज़बूर (माज़ूर) ही क्यों ना हो, चाहे उसका ख़र्च वही उठाता हो।

अगर किसी ने औरत या बालिग़ औलाद का फ़ित्रा उनकी इजाज़त के बिना अदा कर दिया तो हो जाएगा, लेकिन शर्त ये है कि औलाद का ख़र्च उसी के ज़िम्मे हो। अगर ख़र्च उसके ज़िम्मे ना हो तो बिना इजाज़त अदा नहीं होगा। और अगर औरत ने शौहर का फ़ित्रा उसकी इजाज़त के बिना अदा किया तो वो अदा नहीं होगा।

फ़ित्रे की रक़म देना इन चीज़ों से बेहतर है जिन चीज़ों की कीमत ज़्यादा हो, ताकि फ़क़ीर अपनी ज़रूरत के मुताबिक़ ख़र्च कर सके।

यह सदक़ा दरहक़ीक़त ईद की खुशियों को गरीबों तक पहुंचाने का एक ज़रिया है,और अगर रोज़े में कोई कमी हो गई हो, तो सदक़ा-ए-फ़ित्र उसकी तलाफ़ी (पूरा करने) का ज़रिया बने। फरमाने मुस्तफा
*صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم*
*जब तक सदक़ा-ए-फ़ित्र अदा नहीं किया जाता, बंदे का रोज़ा ज़मीन और आसमान के दरमियान मुअल्लक़ (लटका हुआ) रहता है।*
इसीलिए हर मुसलमान को चाहिए कि खुशदिली से इसकी अदायगी करे और मुस्तहिक़ीन तक पहुंचाने का एहतेमाम करे।

*सदक़ा-ए-फ़ित्र में साअ का हिसाब*
गेंहू, उसका आटा या सत्तू आधा साअ यानी तकरीबन *2 किलो 47* ग्राम
जौ, खजूर या मुनक्का एक साअ यानी तकरीबन *4 किलो 94* ग्राम

6 Ways Your Donations to NGOs Transform Lives

At Al Ashraf Trust, we believe that each contribution has the power to make a significant difference. By donating to NGOs like ours, you are not just giving money; you are investing in the future of countless lives. Here are six ways your donations transform lives and why you should consider supporting an NGO:

1. Empowering Education
Your donations help provide children from underprivileged backgrounds with access to quality education. At Al Ashraf Trust, we believe education is the foundation of a better tomorrow. Your support enables us to build schools, provide educational materials, and ensure that no child is left behind, transforming their future and breaking the cycle of poverty.

Donations to NGOs like ours fund skill development and vocational training programs. This helps individuals, especially women and youth, gain the skills they need to find employment or start small businesses, leading to economic independence and community development.

5. Ensuring Clean Water and Sanitation
Access to clean water is a basic human right, yet many communities still suffer from a lack of it. Your donations enable us to build wells, sanitation facilities, and run clean water programs, significantly improving health and hygiene standards in underserved areas.

6. Fostering Community Development
Your generosity enables us to invest in long-term community development projects that improve infrastructure, create sustainable agriculture programs, and promote self-reliance. This holistic approach ensures that entire communities are uplifted, leading to sustained growth and progress.

What Is Section 80G And How Does It Help To Save Income Tax?

Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961, offers tax benefits to individuals and organizations making donations to specified relief funds and charitable institutions. This provision is designed to encourage philanthropy and support social causes by providing tax incentives to donors. Understanding the specifics of Section 80G can help taxpayers reduce their taxable income while contributing to societal welfare.

Eligibility for Section 80G Deductions
1. Who Can Claim?
* Individuals: Both salaried and self-employed individuals can claim deductions under Section 80G.
* Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs): HUFs can also avail of these tax benefits.
* Companies: Corporate entities making donations to eligible institutions can claim deductions.
* Firms: Partnerships and other firms are eligible for the benefits of Section 80G.
2. Eligible Donations
* Specified Funds and Institutions: Donations must be made to funds and charitable institutions specified under Section 80G. These include government-recognized trusts, NGOs, and relief funds.
* Cash and Non-Cash Donations: Both cash and non-cash donations are eligible, but cash donations exceeding ₹2,000 are not eligible for deductions to promote banking and digital transactions.

Types of Donations and Their Deductions
Section 80G categorizes eligible donations into different groups, each with varying deduction limits:
1. 100% Deduction Without Limit
* Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund: Donations made to this fund are eligible for a 100% deduction without any qualifying limit.
* National Defence Fund: Contributions to this fund also qualify for a 100% deduction.
2. 50% Deduction Without Limit
* Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund: Donations to this fund receive a 50% deduction without any upper limit.
* Prime Minister’s Drought Relief Fund: Contributions are eligible for a 50% deduction.
3. 100% Deduction Subject to 10% of Adjusted Gross Total Income
* Donations to the Government or any Approved Local Authority, Institution, or Association for the Promotion of Family Planning: Such donations are eligible for a 100% deduction, but the total must not exceed 10% of the donor’s adjusted gross total income.
4. 50% Deduction Subject to 10% of Adjusted Gross Total Income
* Other Approved Charitable Institutions: Donations to other recognized institutions fall under this category, with a 50% deduction available, subject to the 10% limit.

Calculating the Deduction
1. Determine Adjusted Gross Total Income:
* Adjusted gross total income is calculated by subtracting deductions under Sections 80C to 80U, excluding Section 80G itself, from the gross total income.
2. Apply the Deduction Limits:
* Based on the type of donation, apply the appropriate percentage (100% or 50%) and check if the total donations are within the allowable limit (if applicable).
3. Aggregate Limit Application:
* Ensure that the aggregate amount of donations eligible for deduction under the 10% limit categories does not exceed 10% of the adjusted gross total income.

Process to Claim Section 80G Deductions
1. Obtain Donation Receipts:
* Ensure that you receive a valid receipt from the charitable organization, which should include details like the name and address of the trust, PAN number, the amount donated, and the registration number of the trust under Section 80G.
2. File Income Tax Return:
* While filing your income tax return, include the total donations made under Section 80G and provide the necessary details and receipts to claim the deduction.
3. Maintain Records:
* Keep all receipts and relevant documents for future reference and potential verification by tax authorities.

Importance and Benefits
1. Encourages Philanthropy:
* Section 80G incentivizes individuals and businesses to contribute to social causes and support non-profit organizations, promoting a culture of giving.
2. Tax Savings:
* By reducing taxable income, Section 80G helps donors save on income tax, making it a financially beneficial way to support charitable activities.
3. Supports Social Welfare:
* Donations under Section 80G channel funds towards various social welfare projects, including education, healthcare, disaster relief, and more, contributing to national development.

Conclusion

Section 80G of the Income Tax Act is a valuable provision for taxpayers who wish to support charitable causes while availing of tax benefits. By making eligible donations and claiming deductions under Section 80G, individuals and organizations can contribute to societal welfare and reduce their taxable income. Al ASHRAF Trust encourages everyone to take advantage of this provision to support charitable activities and help create a better society.
