4.2 Tax Benefits (Section 80G)

What are the benefits of donating to NITHYA WELFARE SOCIETY?

You can claim tax deductions on the donations made to an NGO provided the NGO is registered under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Not only that, helping those in need of your support also makes you happy and fulfilled.

How is 80G donation calculated?

When you donate to NITHYA WELFARE SOCIETY, the benefit can be availed by reducing 50% of the donated amount from your taxable salary. For instance, if your taxable income per year is ₹200,000 and you make a donation of ₹5,000, then your net taxable income will become ₹197,500 (i.e. ₹200,000 – 50% of your donation). Your tax will now be calculated on this reduced taxable income based on the prevailing tax rates.

Will I (Individual/Company) get CSR certificate? If yes, when will it be issued?

We, at NITHYA WELFARE SOCIETY will provide an Individual/Company with an 80G Certificate and Utilization certificate for the CSR donations made.

• An 80G receipt will be issued to donors upon request. Donors must provide a valid PAN number to receive the receipt.
• The Society is not responsible for any tax-related advice. Donors are advised to consult their tax advisor for specific deduction eligibility.

4.3 Donation Refund Policy

Nithya Welfare Society follows a reliable refund policy to let our donors feel privileged about their association with us. We take utmost care about processing donations as per the mandates signed by our donors in the donor forms, both offline and online.

However, in the unlikely event of an erroneous deduction or if the Donor wants to cancel/deduct the donation, Nithya Welfare Society will respond within 14 working days from the date of receiving the complaint from the donor.

The timely refund of the wrongly deducted amount will depend on the type of card/banking instrument used during the transaction.

• Refund Request Deadline: We require proof of deduction of the donation amount and a written communication for a refund from the donor within 48 hours after the donation.
• Receipts: If the official receipt has already been issued, the Donor needs to return the original receipt to our official address before a refund is processed.
• Tax Exemption: In the case where a tax exemption certificate (e.g., 80G) has already been issued, a refund will not be possible.
• Refunds, if approved, will be processed within 14 working days to the original payment method.
• Please contact us at info@nithyawelfaresociety.org or call 7013775996 with the transaction details.
