Questions donors ask

Yes. Alorah Foundation holds 80G registration number AAMTA4503GF20261, so donations are eligible for deduction under Section 80G of the Income-tax Act. Your receipt carries the registration numbers your accountant will ask for, and we also file Form 10BD, which is what puts the donation into your own tax records.

Give your details on the donate form. When you pay online the receipt follows straight away. If you pay by bank transfer or UPI, we match the payment against our bank statement first, then issue the receipt with your Donor ID and Donation ID. Add your name in the transfer remarks and it reaches you faster.

No charge is added to your donation. You are receipted for the full amount you gave. Where a payment gateway charges us a fee for collecting online, the trust pays it out of its own funds rather than taking it out of your gift.

Yes. Choose Give Monthly on the donate form. You approve it once, by UPI AutoPay, your card or your bank, and the same amount is then given on the same date every month for up to 10 years, until you stop it. You get an email before each debit. Each month is its own donation, with its own number.

Sign in at alorah.org/account with the email you gave, and press Change Amount on your monthly gift. Type the new amount and approve it once. A small amount such as ₹5 may be taken to confirm the approval, and is refunded. The new amount starts on your next debit date and the old one stops by itself, so no month is taken twice and none is missed. Please do not start a second monthly gift for the change, because both would then be taken every month.

Sign in at alorah.org/account and press Stop Monthly Gift. No more debits are taken from that moment. The months you have already given stay given, with their receipts. You can also write to us on WhatsApp and we will stop it for you.

Yes. Under Give Monthly, choose Monthly debit date: today, and then the same date each month, or any day from 1 to 28. If you choose a later day, nothing is taken until that day comes. Your bank may show a small amount, such as ₹5, to confirm the approval, and it is refunded. Days 29 to 31 are not offered, so a short month never skips your gift.

If you ask for 80G, you get one combined receipt for all of the year's monthly gifts, emailed after 31 March, with each month listed on it. If you need the receipt for one particular month before then, write to us and we will send that month on its own. It is then left out of the combined receipt, so the same money is never on two receipts.

We try again on each of the next three days. If all of them fail, the monthly gift pauses and we may telephone you. You get an email telling you how to put it right, and once you do, it carries on. You can also simply start a new monthly gift.

You can give up to ₹5,00,000 every month. Up to ₹1,00,000 you can approve it with a card, your bank account or, where your checkout offers it, UPI; above that, with a card or your bank account. Above ₹15,000 a month, your bank may ask for your UPI PIN at each debit, because donations are not one of the payments exempted from that rule. For a larger gift, give once.

Not at present. Alorah Foundation accepts donations from Indian citizens and Indian entities only. Contributions from foreign sources, including NRI accounts held abroad, can be accepted only after FCRA registration. We will say so on this page the day that changes.

Yes. The Fund this need button on a need sends your gift to that need's cause, and the trustees make sure it gets there first.

Every registration we hold is printed on this site: trust registration 4/82/2026, PAN AAMTA4503G, NGO Darpan ID TN/2026/0442383, 80G AAMTA4503GF20261 and 12AB AAMTA4503GE20261. Certificate copies are sent on request. Our filings and audited accounts are published in the Transparency section each year.

Only in masked form, for example R****h K. The donor wall on this site never carries a full name, a phone number, an address or an amount you did not give. Full records are kept internally and shared with the authorities where the law requires it, and nowhere else.

Anyone can apply through the Apply for assistance page, and we do not ask for a government income certificate. A trustee visits the family before help is given. For medical, education and similar help we pay the hospital or the institution directly against its own bill, rather than handing over cash.

Yes. Each financial year we publish the income-tax filing, the audited profit and loss statement and the balance sheet in the Transparency section of this page, next to the registrations. What we ask the public to trust, the public can check.
