Terms & Conditions

All donations accepted through online methods will be accounted for as the income of the Pratham Mumbai Education Initiative and will be applied for the charitable purposes they are meant for. However, if the donor wishes to make a large Corpus donation as its long term capital, then he should only use the cheque /pay order/DD method and state specifically in his covering letter that the donation is meant as contribution to the Corpus of Pratham Mumbai Education Initiative. In the absence of such specific direction, the donation will be accounted for as income of Pratham Mumbai Education Initiative by the Income Tax Dept.

The facility of making on line donations is currently restricted to Indian nationals and Indian organizations, in Indian rupees only.
In case the donor is a foreign national or a foreign owned or controlled organization, then he can use the cheque/pay order/DD facility or direct bank remittance facility from outside India for this purpose. The necessary instructions in this regard can be obtained by sending an e-mail to info@pratham.org

All donations will be accepted as donations meant for the various educations related activities being undertaken by Pratham Mumbai Education Initiative (Purpose-General) unless the donor specifies the purpose for which the donation should be used.

All non-foreign donations will be eligible for tax deduction benefits under Section 80 G of the Income Tax Act as per the existing rules.

Pratham Mumbai Education Initiative will be sending a receipt for the donation made, enclosing a copy of the 80 G certificate, to the address indicated on the registration form within 30 days of receiving the payment.

Please note that there is a levy of 2.5% charged by the Bank/Card companies on the on line donation made through credit/debit card. As a result, in such cases, the receipt issued by Pratham Mumbai Education Initiative will be for the amount net of this levy.

Please contact Pratham Mumbai Education Initiative by e mail or post in case you do not receive the receipt within the time indicated.

All donors making a donation of more than Rs 50000/- are, by law, required to give their PAN number on the registration form.
The donors are most welcome to re-assure themselves that their donations have been used for the purpose they have specified. In this connection, they may contact Pratham Mumbai Education Initiative.

Once a donation has been made for a particular purpose, no refund can be made of the donation; nor can the end purpose be changed.
