Ways to give
Donations to the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission are exempt from income tax under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
By UPI
To claim the tax deduction
A UPI payment on its own reaches us without telling us who sent it. We cannot issue a receipt against a payment we cannot identify, so please send your details after giving.
- Give electronically, not in cash. Under Section 80G(5D) of the Income Tax Act, a cash donation of more than ₹2,000 earns no deduction at all. UPI, bank transfer, cheque and demand draft are unaffected, at any amount.
- Send us your name, full address with PIN, email address, and PAN or Aadhaar, along with the date and amount, by email or WhatsApp.
- PAN or Aadhaar is required for donations below ₹10,000. PAN is mandatory for donations of ₹10,000 and above.
- The 80G receipt is sent by email or WhatsApp. If the email address is mistyped it will not reach you — please check it.
- Form 10BE, the tax benefit certificate, is available after 31 May on written request by email.
- The minimum online donation is ₹100.
By bank transfer
Account details are provided on request. Please contact the office by email or WhatsApp and they will be sent to you, along with confirmation of the 80G process.
