The Government of Tamil Nadu's CMPRF contribution instructions state that contributions are entitled to 100% income-tax deduction under Section 80G of the Income-tax Act, 1961 for periods governed by that Act.

For tax year 2026-27 onward, Section 133(1)(a)(xv) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies to a Chief Minister's Relief Fund that meets the statutory conditions: it must be the only fund of its kind in the State, remain under the overall control of the Chief Secretary or State Finance Department, and be administered in the manner specified by the State Government.

AY 2026-27: Old and New Tax Regime

For AY 2026-27, Section 80G remains governed by the Income-tax Act, 1961. Current Income Tax Department filing guidance and validation rules associate Section 80G claims with taxpayers opting for the old tax regime. The new tax regime is the default regime for eligible taxpayers, subject to the statutory option to choose the old regime where available.

For tax year 2026-27 onward, use the return form and deduction rules prescribed under the Income-tax Act, 2025.

Cash Donation Restriction

No deduction is available for a donation exceeding ₹2,000 if it is paid in cash. For larger donations, use a permitted non-cash mode such as bank transfer, card, cheque or demand draft and preserve the transaction evidence.

Official Donation Receipt

For contributions made through electronic transfer, the Tamil Nadu Government asks donors to provide details such as the donor's name, donation amount, bank and branch, date of remittance, transaction reference number, communication address and email so that an official receipt can be issued.
