Last Updated: 29 October 2026
Hare Krishna Movement Ahmedabad (“HKM Ahmedabad,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to handling donations transparently and in accordance with applicable Indian laws and regulations.
This policy explains how we approach donations from international donors and the conditions that apply to receiving and processing such contributions through our website.
Donations may support the religious, spiritual, educational, charitable, cultural, and community activities of HKM Ahmedabad, subject to the organization's legal eligibility and the applicable terms of the donation.
The acceptance and use of foreign contributions are subject to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 (FCRA), as amended, applicable rules, and other relevant legal requirements.
Our website may provide online payment options for visitors located in India and other countries.
Depending on availability, account approval, and the payment options enabled on our website, payment methods may include:
PayPal for supported international transactions.
Razorpay for supported transactions and payment methods.
The availability of a payment option does not guarantee that every international donation can be accepted. All transactions remain subject to the payment provider's terms, account restrictions, verification procedures, and applicable law.
HKM Ahmedabad will accept foreign contributions only where the organization is legally eligible to receive them and all applicable authorization and compliance requirements have been satisfied.
Where required under FCRA, the organization must hold valid registration or obtain prior permission from the competent authority before receiving foreign contributions.
Foreign contributions must be received, maintained, accounted for, and utilized through the banking arrangements and procedures required by applicable law.
Important: The availability of PayPal, Razorpay, international cards, or foreign currencies does not itself establish eligibility to receive foreign contributions.
Payments submitted through our website are processed using the payment provider selected by the donor.
The relevant provider may collect and process information required to authorize, verify, secure, and complete a transaction. HKM Ahmedabad may receive transaction references, payment status, donation amount, currency, and other relevant payment information.
Payments may be delayed, declined, or require additional verification because of banking procedures, payment provider restrictions, technical issues, or compliance requirements.
A payment initiation or bank debit does not necessarily mean that a donation has been successfully confirmed.
Donors may be asked to provide accurate information required for donation processing, transaction verification, recordkeeping, or legal compliance.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
Full name and contact details.
Country of residence or other relevant donor information.
Donation amount and currency.
Payment transaction reference.
Identification or supporting documents where legally required.
HKM Ahmedabad may request additional information or decline a transaction where necessary to comply with applicable law or payment provider requirements.
Donors should not submit false information or attempt to bypass applicable payment or legal restrictions.
We may maintain records of confirmed donations, transaction references, donor details, receipts, and related communications for accounting, audit, reconciliation, and legal compliance.
Donation receipts will be issued based on verified transaction information and the organization's receipt procedures.
The issuance of a receipt does not automatically establish eligibility for a tax deduction in India or another country. Any tax benefit depends on applicable law and the organization's relevant eligibility and approvals.
Foreign contributions, where legally accepted, will be used in accordance with the applicable authorization, declared purpose, organizational procedures, and legal restrictions.
Where FCRA applies, the organization will follow the applicable requirements relating to receipt, utilization, accounting, reporting, and recordkeeping.
Donors should review the selected donation purpose before confirming a contribution.
If a payment is debited but remains unconfirmed, or if a duplicate transaction occurs, please contact us with the transaction reference so that we can investigate.
Cancellation and refund requests will be handled in accordance with our Cancellation and Refund Policy, payment provider procedures, and applicable law.
Any refund or return of funds will be subject to transaction verification and the relevant legal and payment processing requirements.
Personal information collected in connection with international donations will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection requirements.
Relevant information may be shared with payment providers, authorized service providers, auditors, professional advisers, or competent authorities where necessary and lawful.
We do not sell donor personal information to third parties.
HKM Ahmedabad may decline, suspend, or refer a transaction for review where required or permitted by applicable law or the relevant payment provider's procedures.
This may include circumstances where:
The organization is not authorized to accept the contribution.
Required verification information is missing.
The transaction cannot be properly verified.
The payment provider does not support the transaction.
Acceptance would breach applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
Any cancellation, return, or refund will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the relevant payment arrangements.
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our payment providers, donation services, legal eligibility, or applicable regulatory requirements.
Revisions will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
We encourage donors to review this policy before making an international donation.
