1. Purpose of Donations

Muktidharma Foundation (“the Foundation”) is a not-for-profit organisation established to provide free, fair, and timely legal aid to undertrial prisoners and accused individuals, and to promote access to justice and systemic reform in the criminal justice system. All donations received by the Foundation are voluntary contributions made to support its charitable objectives. Donations are applied solely towards furthering the Foundation’s mission and related operational requirements.

2. Nature of Donations

Donations made to the Foundation are purely voluntary. Donations do not create any contractual, legal, professional, or fiduciary relationship between the donor and the Foundation. Donations do not guarantee any specific outcome, benefit, or result, including legal outcomes for any individual case. The Foundation does not provide any goods, services, or commercial benefits in exchange for donations.

3. Use and Utilisation of Funds

The Foundation is committed to transparency and accountability in the utilisation of donated funds. Donations may be used for purposes including, but not limited to:

  • providing legal aid, counselling, and representation;

  • supporting case-related expenses and legal processes;

  • awareness, research, and advocacy activities; and

  • administrative and operational expenses necessary to carry out charitable activities.

No portion of donations is distributed as profit or personal gain to any director, member, trustee, employee, or volunteer.

4. Online Donations and Payment Processing

Online donations made through the Foundation’s website are processed via third-party payment gateways that are regulated and compliant with applicable laws.

The Foundation does not store sensitive payment information such as card numbers, CVV, or banking credentials. Limited transaction details (such as donor name, amount, date, and transaction reference) may be retained for accounting, audit, and statutory compliance. Donors are encouraged to review the privacy policies of the respective payment gateway providers.

5. Refund and Cancellation Policy

As donations are voluntary contributions made towards charitable purposes, donations once made are non-refundable. The Foundation reserves the right to accept or reject refund requests based on the facts and circumstances of each case.

6. Tax Exemption

Donation receipts may be issued subject to statutory compliance and approvals, if applicable. Any tax benefit (such as under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961) is subject to:

  • the Foundation holding valid approval at the relevant time; and

  • compliance by the donor with applicable tax laws.

The Foundation does not provide tax advice, and donors are encouraged to consult their tax advisors.

 

7. Privacy of Donor Information

The Foundation respects the privacy of donors. Donor information is handled in accordance with the Foundation’s Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. Donor information is:

  • used only for lawful and legitimate purposes;

  • not sold, rented, or commercially shared; and

  • disclosed only where required by law or for statutory compliance.

 

8. Right to Decline Donations

The Foundation reserves the right to accept or decline any donation at its discretion, including in cases where acceptance may:

  • violate applicable laws;

  • conflict with the Foundation’s objects or ethical standards; or

  • raise regulatory, compliance, or reputational concerns.

 

9. Changes to this Policy

This Donation Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in law, regulatory requirements, or operational practices. Updated versions will be published on the Foundation’s website.

10. Contact and Grievance Redressal

For any queries, concerns, or grievances relating to donations or refunds, donors may contact the Foundation through the Grievance Officer details provided in the Terms of Use.
