Online donation is one of the easiest ways to help someone in need. The amount doesn’t have to be big – even a small donation can help in changing someone’s life in excellent ways. Making online donations through charity organisations is an ideal route to take in that respect. Non- Governmental Organisations in India have been at the forefront to ensure that the ones in need are assisted for their issues. Narayan Seva Sansthan is a charitable trust where we need funding to meet the expenses required for the treatment of congenital disabilities, cerebral palsy, and other physical disabilities, to provide amenities to the poor and needy differently-abled people. The need for funds for Sansthan is met through both offline and online donations from individuals, businesses and other institutions. With the help of our online donation charity platform, Narayan Seva Sansthan has helped thousands of people in need with monetary assistance. Whether it is helping a needy person during a health emergency or assisting an orphan with all the basic amenities – we serve to change lives for the better. Donating money to our charity organisation is not just beneficial for the underprivileged but also benefits our donors in many ways. These online donations for NGOs bring about a sense of happiness and satisfaction to the donors alongside the benefit of tax exemption. When you donate money to an NGO or charitable trust, you get tax benefits, provided the organisation to which you are making an online donation is registered under Section 12A of the Income Tax Act and is eligible for tax deductions under Section 80G. Donors need to keep in mind that religious institutions or trusts are not eligible for tax deduction under Section 80G. Policies for Donation that Donors and NGOs Need to Know There are a few donation rules or policies that both the donor and the receiving trusts need to abide by. To gain tax benefits with online donations for NGOs, a key policy is that the charitable organisation or the NGO is established in India and operates for the benefit of the underprivileged section within the country. In addition to this, they also have to meet the data structure, procedure, and standards that are laid down by the Director-General of Income Tax in India. To make an online donation for charity, the NGOs and donors must also abide by the incorporated security standards, archival, and retrieval policies that are formulated by the Director- General of Income Tax in India. Policies for availing tax benefits apart from the formal registration under Section 12A and eligibility for Section 80G tax deductions Donors can avail tax benefits if the NGO or charity organisation to which they are giving money online complies with the following policies – • They should be registered under the Societies Registration Act 1860 or Section 25 of the Companies Act 1956. • The objectives of the NGO, the online donation platform or the charitable organisation must not specify the spending income or the assets if they are not seeking support in humanitarian causes. • The NGOs and charitable organisations should not be discriminating their spending or donations on a particular religious community or caste. • The NGO or the charitable trust should not exempt any source of income, which includes business incomes. • The NGO and the charitable organisation must have their accounts maintained with accurate receipts and expenditures. Narayan Seva Sansthan is one of the top-most donation platforms for non-profits and accepts donations for causes like critical diseases, child education, caring for orphans, and so on. In addition to this, we also offer social, economic, and physical rehabilitation, organise service camps, blood donation drives, and much more.
