4. Donations

All donations made to Pragati Prayas Trust are voluntary contributions intended to support the charitable objectives and activities of the Trust.

A donation does not constitute the purchase of any goods or services unless expressly stated otherwise.

Before making a donation, donors should carefully review the amount, payment information and other details entered during the transaction.

We may use donations for the charitable purposes and activities of the Trust. Where a particular campaign or initiative is mentioned, the Trust may allocate funds according to the requirements and needs of that initiative and its charitable objectives.

5. Online Payments

Online donations may be processed through third-party payment gateways, banks or other authorized payment service providers.

When making a payment, you may also be subject to the terms and privacy policies of the relevant payment service provider.

Pragati Prayas Trust does not directly store sensitive card, banking or payment credentials unless specifically stated in our Privacy Policy.

We are not responsible for technical failures, delays, declined transactions or interruptions caused by third-party payment gateways, banks, internet service providers or other systems outside our reasonable control.

Where applicable, Pragati Prayas Trust may issue a donation receipt based on the information provided by the donor.

Donors are responsible for providing accurate information, including their name, email address, address and other information required for issuing a receipt.

Any applicable tax benefit or deduction relating to a donation shall be subject to the eligibility requirements and applicable laws in force at the relevant time.

The Trust does not guarantee any particular tax benefit unless the donor independently satisfies the applicable legal requirements.

7. Refunds and Cancellation

Donations are generally voluntary contributions and are not refundable once successfully received by the Trust.

However, if a donor believes that:

  • the same donation was charged more than once;
  • an incorrect amount was charged due to a technical error; or
  • a payment was completed but the donation was not properly recorded,

the donor may contact us with the transaction details.

After verification, the Trust may take appropriate action in accordance with the circumstances and applicable law.

Any refund, where approved, may be processed through the original payment method or another appropriate method.
