Donation Refund Policy - Maaya Anubhuti Foundation

  1. General Principles
    All donations received support our elderly-care and community programmes. As a rule, donations are non-refundable. However, we do consider genuine refund requests for issues such as duplicate transactions or proven technical errors.

  2. When a Refund May Be Issued
    Refunds are considered only in these situations:

  • Duplicate transaction (same amount debited twice)

  • Technical/payment gateway error causing deduction but no receipt

  • Recognized bank error (on evidence from payer/gateway)
    Refunds are not possible for a change of mind after a successful donation, or where the donation is already allocated and/or officially receipted.

  1. Time Limit for Requests
    Refund requests must be received within 15 days of the donation. Requests after this period may not be accepted.

  2. How to Request a Refund
    Email us with:

  • Full name and phone number used in donation

  • Date, amount, and payment mode

  • Transaction/Donation ID and reference (if available)

  • Screenshot or bank statement confirming the debit

Send to:

  1. Review and Processing Timeline

  • We will acknowledge your request within 2 business days.

  • Review and resolution typically within 7 working days after receiving all details.

  • Approved refunds are reversed only to the original payment method. We cannot refund in cash or to any alternate account.

  • Bank/payment gateway timelines apply (typically 7–15 business days for funds to appear).

  1. Refund Amount
    Refunds—if approved—are made net of payment gateway charges, bank charges, and/or non-recoverable taxes. Only the amount actually received by us can be reversed.

  2. 80G Receipts and Compliance
    If an 80G receipt or statutory form (e.g., 10BD/10BE) has already been issued or filed, refunds will not be possible unless it can be shown to be a duplicate/technical error and legal reversal is permitted.
    Used tax receipts must not be presented to tax authorities.

  3. Recurring / Monthly Donations
    To cancel a recurring donation, email us at least 5 business days before your next scheduled charge. Charges already processed will follow this policy.
