West Bengal State Emergency Relief Fund: PAN, Bank Account & Tax Deduction

Find the current West Bengal State Emergency Relief Fund bank account, IFSC, PAN information, address and income-tax guidance for eligible donations.

Applicable law from 1 April 2026: the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies from tax year 2026-27. The donation deduction corresponding to former Section 80G is now contained in Section 133. Section 133(1)(a)(xv) covers a State Chief Minister's Relief Fund satisfying the statutory conditions.

Tax deduction for West Bengal State Emergency Relief Fund donations

West Bengal Government portals state that contributions to the West Bengal State Emergency Relief Fund are eligible for a 100% income-tax deduction. For tax years beginning before 1 April 2026, the corresponding claim was made under Section 80G of the Income-tax Act, 1961. From tax year 2026-27 onwards, the governing statutory donation provision is Section 133 of the Income-tax Act, 2025.

Keep the official acknowledgement receipt and verify the donee particulars appearing on it before filing the income-tax return. Where a donation exceeds ₹2,000, use an eligible non-cash payment mode if you intend to claim the statutory deduction.
