The most trust-critical page on this site. Here's proof, not promises.
A donor once called us from Pune and said: "I gave ₹5,000 last Diwali. I just want to know — did it actually reach someone?" We told her: your donation, combined with 37 others that week, paid for 180 meals during Diwali. We can send you the kitchen log if you'd like.
She said yes. We sent it. She has donated every Diwali since.
This page exists for everyone who deserves that answer.

Tax Certificate Process — Explained
- You receive an instant Donation Acknowledgement Receipt (PDF via email & WhatsApp) — this confirms your payment.
- Through the year, we maintain a secure, CA-reviewed record of every donor and donation.
- By 31 May each year, we file Form 113 (Statement of Donations) with the Income Tax Department.
- The Income Tax e-filing portal then auto-generates Form 114 (the official Donation Certificate) for each eligible donor.
- We send you Form 114 via WhatsApp and email — this is the document you use to claim your deduction under Section 133 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (commonly called the 80G deduction).
Note: Donors who gave cash above ₹2,000 are not eligible for this deduction as per Indian tax law.

FAQ — Transparency & Accounts
Administration costs (including accounting, website, and banking fees) represent [X]% of our total annual donations. The remaining share goes directly to program activities: gurukul, gaushala, Annadan, Vastra Daan, and campaigns. This is published in our annual audited accounts.
If you donated via our website with a valid PAN and requested a tax certificate, your Form 114 will be sent to your registered email and WhatsApp number after we file Form 113 by 31 May. If you have not received it by 15 June, email us with your donation reference.
