Hare Krishna Movement Ahmedabad (“HKM Ahmedabad,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) welcomes voluntary contributions from individuals who wish to support our religious, spiritual, charitable, educational, and community activities.
This Donation Policy explains how online donations are submitted, processed, recorded, and acknowledged through our website.
By making a donation through our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
Donations made to HKM Ahmedabad support the organization's activities, which may include:
Temple maintenance and religious services.
Spiritual programs, devotional activities, and seva.
Educational and cultural initiatives.
Community welfare and charitable activities.
Festivals, events, and other organizational activities.
Where a donation is designated for a particular seva or purpose, it will be handled in accordance with the applicable donation terms, organizational procedures, and legal requirements.
HKM Ahmedabad accepts online donations through the payment options displayed on its website.
Available payment gateways may include Razorpay and Easebuzz, depending on the payment methods and currencies supported by the relevant integration.
To make a donation, you may be asked to provide information such as:
Full name.
Mobile number and email address.
Country and other relevant address details.
Donation amount and selected seva.
PAN or other information where required for the relevant purpose or applicable legal requirements.
You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate before submitting your donation.
Online payments are processed through the payment gateway selected during checkout.
A donation is considered successfully completed when the payment has been verified and the transaction status has been confirmed by our system or through the relevant reconciliation process.
Initiating a payment, receiving a bank debit notification, or seeing a pending transaction does not necessarily mean that the donation has been successfully confirmed.
Payment confirmation may be delayed because of bank processing, payment gateway communication, network interruptions, or technical issues.
If your account has been debited but the donation remains unconfirmed, please contact us with your transaction reference so that we can investigate.
The minimum or suggested donation amounts, available currencies, and payment options may vary depending on the donation form and payment gateway.
Please review the amount and currency displayed at checkout before completing your transaction.
Where currency conversion applies, the final amount charged may depend on the applicable payment provider, bank, exchange rate, and any relevant charges disclosed during payment.
The amount confirmed in our donation records will be based on the verified transaction information.
Donations are voluntary contributions made to support HKM Ahmedabad's activities.
Please carefully review the donation purpose and amount before confirming your payment. If you have questions about a donation or its intended purpose, contact us before completing the transaction.
Donations should not be made in expectation of a personal financial return or commercial benefit.
HKM Ahmedabad may issue electronic donation receipts for successfully verified donations using the contact details provided during checkout.
Receipts may contain relevant information, including:
Donor name.
Donation date.
Donation amount and currency.
Selected donation purpose or seva.
Transaction reference.
Other details required for accounting or applicable legal purposes.
Receipt delivery may be affected by incorrect contact details, email delivery issues, or transaction verification delays.
If you have completed a donation but have not received your receipt, please contact us with your transaction reference.
A donation receipt does not automatically establish eligibility for a tax deduction. Any tax benefit depends on applicable law, the organization's eligibility and approvals, and the donor's circumstances.
Donations are generally considered final once successfully processed.
However, requests involving duplicate payments, failed transactions where funds have been debited, verified technical errors, or other exceptional circumstances may be reviewed.
Any refund will be subject to transaction verification, applicable payment gateway procedures, organizational processes, and applicable law.
Please refer to our separate Cancellation and Refund Policy for details about eligibility, processing, and how to submit a request.
Payment gateways or financial institutions may apply transaction or currency conversion charges depending on the payment method and transaction.
Any applicable charges or optional transaction-fee contribution displayed during checkout should be reviewed before you confirm your donation.
The amount charged and the amount recorded as the donation will be determined using the verified transaction details and applicable accounting procedures.
We collect and use donor information to process donations, verify transactions, issue receipts, maintain accounting records, communicate about donations, prevent fraud, and meet applicable legal obligations.
We may share relevant information with payment gateways, technology providers, authorized personnel, and other parties where necessary and lawful.
We do not sell donor personal information to third parties.
For more information about how personal information is handled, please read our Privacy Policy.
When making a donation, you are responsible for:
Providing accurate donor and contact information.
Reviewing the donation amount, currency, and selected seva.
Ensuring that you are authorized to use the selected payment method.
Keeping your payment credentials and authentication codes confidential.
Retaining your transaction reference for future inquiries.
Contacting us promptly if you identify a duplicate payment, an incorrect charge, or a suspicious transaction.
Do not share your card security code, banking password, payment PIN, or one-time password with anyone claiming to represent HKM Ahmedabad.
HKM Ahmedabad may review donation transactions to detect suspected fraud, duplicate payments, unauthorized activity, or technical discrepancies.
Where necessary, we may seek additional transaction information from the relevant payment gateway or bank to verify a payment.
Transactions may be delayed or reviewed where verification is required, subject to applicable law and payment provider procedures.
Visitors from outside India may be able to access donation services where the available payment gateway supports their location and payment method.
The acceptance and use of foreign contributions may be subject to additional legal restrictions and eligibility requirements in India.
The availability of an international payment option does not, by itself, mean that HKM Ahmedabad is authorized to accept every category of foreign contribution. Donations will be accepted only where permitted under applicable law and the organization's relevant eligibility.
International donors should review the payment and currency details displayed during checkout before making a contribution.
HKM Ahmedabad may update this policy to reflect changes in donation services, payment gateways, organizational activities, or applicable legal requirements.
Any revised version will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
We encourage donors to review this policy before making a donation.
