3. Donations

All donations made through our website are voluntary.

Donors may contribute to specific campaigns or to the charitable and humanitarian activities of Anantha Foundation Trust, depending on the donation option selected.

Donors are responsible for ensuring that the information entered during the donation process, including name, email address, mobile number, PAN details where applicable, and donation amount, is accurate.

A donation will be considered successfully received only after the payment has been successfully processed and verified.

4. Use of Donations

Donations received by Anantha Foundation Trust may be used to support the purpose of the relevant campaign, including humanitarian assistance, emergency relief, food distribution, safe drinking water, healthcare support, hygiene supplies, shelter assistance, transportation, logistics, rehabilitation, and other related charitable activities.

Where the immediate requirements of a particular campaign have been fulfilled, remaining funds may be used for related rehabilitation, community recovery, humanitarian assistance, or other charitable activities of Anantha Foundation Trust, subject to applicable requirements.

We aim to use donations responsibly and in furtherance of the Foundation's charitable objectives.

5. Payment Processing

Online payments made through our website are processed through Razorpay, our third-party payment gateway provider.

Available payment methods may include:

• UPI
• Credit Cards
• Debit Cards
• Net Banking
• Wallets
• Other payment methods supported by Razorpay

Anantha Foundation Trust does not directly store complete card details, CVV, UPI PINs, internet banking passwords, or other sensitive payment authentication credentials.

Payment processing is also subject to the applicable terms, conditions, security practices, and policies of the payment service provider and relevant financial institutions.

6. Payment Confirmation

After a successful payment, donors may receive an on-screen confirmation and/or confirmation through their registered email address.

A transaction appearing as initiated or pending does not necessarily mean that the donation has been successfully received.

Our records and the verified payment status received from the payment gateway will be used to determine the final status of a transaction.

If an amount has been debited but the transaction appears unsuccessful or pending, the donor may contact us with the relevant transaction details.

7. Donation Receipts

A donation acknowledgement or receipt may be issued after a successful and verified donation.

The receipt will generally be sent to the email address provided by the donor during the donation process.

Donors are responsible for providing accurate details for receipt generation.

If a donor provides incorrect information, they may contact us to request a correction. Any correction will be subject to verification and applicable record-keeping requirements.

8. Tax Benefits

A donation should not be assumed to qualify automatically for a tax deduction or exemption.

Any tax benefit, certificate, or tax-related documentation will be available only where the donation qualifies under applicable law and Anantha Foundation Trust holds the relevant valid registration or approval at the applicable time.

Donors should consult their own tax advisor or qualified professional regarding their individual eligibility for any tax benefit.

9. Refunds and Cancellation

Donations are voluntary and are generally non-refundable once successfully processed.

However, duplicate or erroneous payments reported to us within seven working days may be reviewed.

Any refund, where approved, will be subject to verification of the transaction and applicable payment gateway or banking procedures.

Submitting a refund request does not automatically guarantee that a refund will be approved.

For complete information, please refer to our Refund Policy.

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate information regarding our campaigns, initiatives, donation goals, and relief activities.

Campaign statistics, including amounts raised, families supported, relief materials distributed, or similar impact information, may be updated periodically as activities progress and information becomes available.

Such information may therefore change over time.
