Are you planning to donate your automobile to charity?

You do not always need to sign cheques for charity, an automobile you planning to get rid off will also suffice. And just like cash donation deducts the tax levied on your total income, an automobile donation to charity also exempts you from the tax. But there are many things you should keep in mind while donating an automobile to charity. This article will briefly touch up on the points that you should remember.

Your first step should be to find a charity organization that would accept your automobile directly preferably, an organization that handles the transaction procedure themselves. You could log on to the India-classifieds website and view the ads posted by such organizations in the automobile section.        
Do a little research on the organization. Do not donate your automobile to any charitable organization. Find a NGO that has done significant work in the past and has a name you can trust.

If you have succeeded in finding an organization that fits your requirement, supports a cause you believe in then drive your automobile personally to the NGO office. This is good for your image and you will be taken as a serious donor rather than as someone doing it for mere recognition. However, if it is absolutely difficult for you to drive the automobile personally, you can contact movers and packers agency and get their help for the vehicle's delivery. Again you can get the contact details of these agencies on India Classifieds.

The last step perhaps is to fulfill the legal formalities. Do not make the automobile donation to just any charity that comes your way. When you have made up your mind to donate, do it with zeal. Also do not donate an automobile that is trash. Remember you gain as much from the donation as the charitable organization.
