Ministry of Corporate Affairs
Search our CIN U88900DL2023NPL416177 for incorporation status, directors, charges and filings.
Read this first. Our 12A and 80G approvals are provisional, granted on
19 August 2023 and valid from assessment year 2024-25 to assessment year 2026-27.
Under the terms of the order we must apply for regular registration before that
period expires. We say so here rather than let a donor discover it later.

Questions we get asked
Compliance, plainly
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. We hold provisional 80G approval (URN AAKCG5525HF20231), so donations
are eligible for deduction under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for assessment
years 2024-25 to 2026-27. We issue a receipt with our PAN on it. Please share your PAN when
you donate so the deduction can be claimed correctly.
What does "Section 8 company" mean for my money?
A Section 8 company is a not-for-profit incorporated under the Companies Act,
2013. Our licence conditions prohibit paying any dividend, bonus or profit to members, and
require that all income and property be applied solely to promoting our stated objects. On
winding up, remaining assets cannot be distributed to members — they must go to another
organisation with similar objects. Those are legal constraints, not promises.
Can you accept foreign donations?
No. We do not hold FCRA registration, so we cannot legally accept foreign
contributions. If you are an Indian citizen living abroad donating from an NRO/NRE account,
please write to us first so we can confirm the position for your specific case.
Can we route CSR funds to you?
CSR contributions under Section 135 of the Companies Act require the
implementing agency to be registered with the MCA via Form CSR-1. We are preparing this
filing and will publish the registration number here the moment it is issued. Until then,
corporates can still support us through direct donations, in-kind giving (fodder, medicines,
construction material) and employee-engagement programmes. See the CSR page.
Where are your audited accounts?
Our Articles require that accounts be examined at least once every year by a
qualified auditor. Audited financial statements, ITR acknowledgements and annual reports are
published on the Transparency page as each year is signed off.
