Donation Policy Effective Date: 16 June 2025 1. Introduction Thank you for supporting Human Rights Council of India (HRCI). Your voluntary contribution helps support our humanitarian, human rights awareness, social welfare, educational, legal awareness, community development, and other organizational initiatives. This Donation Policy explains the terms and conditions applicable to donations made through our website or through other authorized payment channels. 2. Voluntary Contributions All donations made to Human Rights Council of India (HRCI) are voluntary contributions. Donors are requested to carefully review the donation amount, purpose, and transaction details before completing a donation. 3. Non-Refundable Donations Donations are generally non-refundable once the transaction has been successfully completed. However, in cases such as duplicate transactions, incorrect payments, or unauthorized transactions, the matter may be reviewed after verification in accordance with our Refund & Cancellation Policy. Donors should contact HRCI as soon as possible if they believe that a payment has been made incorrectly or more than once. 4. Donation Confirmation After a successful donation, a payment confirmation, receipt, or other applicable acknowledgment may be provided through the contact information supplied by the donor. If you do not receive a confirmation or receipt within a reasonable period, please contact us with your transaction details so that we can verify the payment. Donors are advised to retain their payment confirmation or transaction reference for their records. 5. Donation Allocation Where a donor specifically designates a donation for a particular campaign, project, program, or initiative, HRCI will make reasonable efforts to use the contribution for the designated purpose, subject to applicable requirements and circumstances. Where no specific purpose is designated, the donation may be used for the organization's general activities, programs, administrative requirements, and areas where funds are considered necessary. 6. Recurring Donations Where recurring donation facilities are available, donors may authorize the applicable payment provider or payment method to process recurring contributions according to the terms selected during registration. Recurring donation arrangements may be modified or cancelled through the applicable payment provider or by contacting HRCI, subject to the terms of the relevant payment service. 7. Tax and Donation Receipts Donation receipts may be issued where applicable. The tax treatment or tax deductibility of a donation depends on applicable laws, the donor's circumstances, and the organization's eligibility under relevant tax provisions. Donors should consult a qualified tax professional or the relevant government authority regarding the tax treatment of their donation. HRCI does not guarantee any particular tax benefit unless specifically applicable under law. 8. Donor Information and Privacy HRCI respects the privacy of its donors. Personal information collected during the donation process may be used for processing donations, issuing receipts, maintaining records, providing confirmations, responding to donor inquiries, and other legitimate organizational purposes. For further information regarding the collection and use of personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy. 9. Use of Donations HRCI is committed to using donations responsibly and for legitimate organizational purposes. Donations may support activities and initiatives relating to human rights awareness, social welfare, education, legal awareness, community development, humanitarian assistance, campaigns, events, training, and other activities undertaken by the organization. The allocation of funds may depend on organizational priorities, available resources, project requirements, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. 10. Payment Processing Donations made through the website may be processed through authorized third-party payment gateways. Payment methods may include UPI, debit cards, credit cards, net banking, digital wallets, or other payment methods made available through the payment gateway. HRCI is not responsible for delays or technical issues caused by banks, payment gateways, card issuers, or other third-party payment service providers. 11.
