Questions

Before you give

Who receives the books?

Students, young people, village families, people in prison and others in need, reached by Nandgram Dham’s distribution team. If you have a place in mind, such as your old school, tell us on 9001704741.

Which book is given?

Bhagavad-gītā As It Is (in Hindi, Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā Yathārūp) by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.

Will I get a receipt?

Yes. When your online payment is confirmed, a donation receipt is sent to the WhatsApp number you give. If it has not arrived within a day, call 9001704741 or write to dmt@hkmkota.org.

Can I claim a tax deduction?

Donations to GitaDaan are not eligible for tax exemption under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961, so no 80G certificate is issued. You receive a donation receipt for every confirmed gift.

Can I pay by UPI or bank transfer?

Yes. Call or WhatsApp 9001704741 for the account details. Your gift is confirmed once it appears in our bank statement; a screenshot alone is not proof of payment.

My payment failed but money left my account. What now?

Please don’t pay again straight away. Note the order number on the result page and contact us on 9001704741. A failed payment is normally returned by your bank, and we will check it with the gateway for you.

What happens to my details?

We use your name, mobile, email and address only to issue your receipt and to contact you about this sponsorship. Card and bank details are entered on CCAvenue’s page; we never see them. Donors’ names are never shown on this website.

Can I give from outside India?

The online form needs an Indian mobile number for the WhatsApp receipt. If you are abroad, write to dmt@hkmkota.org and we will help.

Important terms

  • Amounts are in Indian rupees. One Gita is ₹260; the number of books is the amount divided by ₹260, rounded down. Smaller amounts go toward a copy.
  • A gift counts as received only when the payment gateway confirms it, or, for UPI and bank transfers, when it appears in our bank statement. A screenshot is not a confirmation.
  • A receipt is issued for every confirmed payment.
  • Donations are not eligible for tax exemption under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
  • Books are given where the distribution team finds them most needed. We try to honour a request for a particular place but cannot guarantee it.
  • Your details are used only for receipts and to contact you about your sponsorship.
  • For corrections, cancellations or refunds, contact 9001704741 or dmt@hkmkota.org.
