As per clause 61,Tax Credit may be divided into two parts,
1. If donation is made to such approved institutions which are specified under clause 61 of part 1 of second schedule, then these Donations are allowed as a straight deduction against total income to arrive at the taxable income,

2. A tax credit at the average rate of tax is provided, if donation is given to the institutions other than mentioned in 1 above.

In this regard, Please explain that, to whom this charity has been given ? then it may be ascertained whether it is allowed as a straight deduction or eligible to have a tax credit,
It is advised to go through the aforementioned sections , so that you may evaluate the taxation of the said person yourself.
however,
Queries will be appreciated.
