As per explanation 5 to Section 80G- no donation in kind shall be allowed.

AI Summary

Donation in kind disallowance under section 80G: gifts of property or precious metals are not deductible. Donations made in kind (for example land or gold) are not eligible for deduction under the charitable-deduction provision because the statutory explanation expressly excludes donation in kind from allowable contributions.
