The Society of Disability and Rehabilitation (SDR) is committed to using donations responsibly and transparently to support its objectives, programs, and activities related to disability rehabilitation, healthcare awareness, education, skill development, and community development.

This Donation Policy explains how donations made through www.sdrsociety.org are accepted, processed, recorded, and used.

1. Purpose of Donations

Donations received by SDR may be used to support activities and initiatives such as:

• Disability rehabilitation and support programs
• Healthcare and medical awareness initiatives
• Health camps and community awareness programs
• Education and skill development activities
• Vocational training and development programs
• Support for persons with disabilities and underserved communities
• Research, seminars, workshops, and professional development
• Community development and inclusion initiatives
• Administrative and operational activities necessary to carry out SDR’s objectives

Donations may be allocated according to the organization’s current priorities and requirements.

2. Voluntary Donations

All donations made to SDR are voluntary contributions.

By making a donation, the donor confirms that the contribution is made willingly and without expectation of any personal benefit, service, product, or financial return from SDR.

A donation does not automatically provide the donor with membership, employment, services, benefits, or any other entitlement unless separately specified by SDR.

3. Online Donations

SDR may accept donations through online payment facilities provided by authorized third-party payment gateway/service providers.

The available payment methods may include, depending on the payment gateway:

• UPI
• Debit cards
• Credit cards
• Net banking
• Other payment methods supported by the payment gateway

The availability of a particular payment method may change depending on the payment service provider.

4. Payment Processing

When a donor makes an online payment, the transaction may be processed through a secure third-party payment gateway.

SDR may receive transaction information necessary to:

• Confirm the donation
• Maintain financial records
• Reconcile payments
• Issue applicable receipts
• Respond to payment-related enquiries

Sensitive payment credentials such as UPI PIN, ATM PIN, CVV, banking passwords, or card authentication information are not requested or intentionally stored by SDR.

5. Donation Confirmation

After a successful online donation, the donor may receive a confirmation message, email, receipt, or other acknowledgement depending on the payment system and information provided by the donor.

Donors should retain their transaction/reference number for future communication regarding the donation.

If the donation amount has been debited from the donor’s account but the donation is not confirmed, the donor should contact SDR with the relevant transaction details.

6. Donation Receipts

Where applicable, SDR may issue a donation receipt or acknowledgement using the information provided by the donor.

To issue an applicable receipt, SDR may require information such as:

• Full name
• Address
• Email address
• Mobile number
• PAN or other information required under applicable law

Tax benefits, including benefits under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961, will be available only where SDR is legally eligible and the applicable statutory requirements are satisfied.

Donors should not assume that every donation is automatically eligible for a tax deduction.

7. Use of Donations

SDR aims to use donations in accordance with its charitable and organizational objectives.

Unless a specific restricted-donation arrangement has been expressly accepted by SDR in writing, donations may be utilized for the organization’s general activities and whichever eligible programs or requirements are considered appropriate by the organization.

SDR may also use a reasonable portion of donations for administration, program management, technology, communication, compliance, and other operational expenses necessary to carry out its activities.

8. Restricted Donations

If a donor wishes to contribute specifically toward a particular program, project, activity, or purpose, the donor should contact SDR before making the donation.

SDR will determine whether it is able to accept and administer such a restricted contribution.

If a specified purpose cannot reasonably be fulfilled, SDR may use the contribution for another closely related charitable purpose, subject to applicable law and organizational requirements.

9. Refunds and Failed Transactions

SDR generally does not refund successfully completed donations merely because a donor changes their mind.

However, a refund or correction may be considered in situations such as:

• Duplicate payment
• Technical error
• Incorrect amount charged due to a payment-processing issue
• Unauthorized transaction
• Amount debited but donation not successfully recorded

Any refund request should be submitted as soon as possible with supporting transaction information.

For complete information, please refer to our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

10. Fraudulent or Unauthorized Transactions

If you believe that a donation was made using your payment method without your authorization, please immediately contact your bank/payment provider and inform SDR.

SDR may request transaction details and supporting information to investigate the matter.

SDR is not responsible for unauthorized transactions arising from the donor’s failure to protect their banking credentials, device, payment account, OTP, UPI PIN, or other confidential information.

11. Donor Information and Privacy

SDR respects the privacy of its donors.

Personal information collected during the donation process may be used for:

• Processing donations
• Issuing receipts
• Maintaining financial records
• Communicating with donors
• Statutory, accounting, and audit requirements
• Preventing fraud and misuse
• Improving donation and website services

SDR does not sell or rent donor personal information for commercial purposes.

For more information, please read our Privacy Policy.

12. Third-Party Payment Providers

Payments made through the Website may be subject to the terms, conditions, privacy policies, and security practices of the selected payment gateway.

SDR is not responsible for the independent policies, technical availability, or actions of third-party payment service providers.

If a payment fails because of a payment gateway, bank, network, or technical issue, the donor may contact SDR and/or the relevant payment provider for assistance.

13. Donation Acknowledgement

SDR appreciates every contribution received in support of its objectives.

Where appropriate, SDR may acknowledge donors through communications, reports, events, publications, or its Website.

If a donor does not wish to have their name publicly acknowledged, they may contact SDR and request that their contribution remain anonymous, subject to applicable legal and reporting requirements.

14. Transparency and Records

SDR maintains appropriate financial and organizational records relating to donations in accordance with applicable legal, accounting, audit, and regulatory requirements.

Donation records may be retained for the period necessary to meet statutory, financial, accounting, audit, and organizational requirements.

15. Changes to Donation Policy

SDR may update this Donation Policy from time to time to reflect changes in its activities, payment systems, legal requirements, or organizational practices.

Any changes will be published on this page, together with an updated “Last Updated” date.
