Refund Policy

Donation refund guidelines.

Conditions and process for donation refunds at Ananda Living Foundation, published for institutional clarity and donor confidence.

General principle

Donations made voluntarily to Ananda Living Foundation are contributions towards the organisation's mission and are generally not refundable, except where required by applicable law or where Ananda Living Foundation approves a refund for duplicate, technical-error, or exceptional good-faith reasons.

  • Voluntary charitable contributions

  • Duplicate or technical-error payments reviewed with evidence

  • Legal exceptions and approved discretionary refunds handled case by case

Process for inquiries

If you believe a donation was made in error, a duplicate transaction occurred, or a statutory exception may apply, contact hello@anandaliving.org with the date, amount, payment method, and any receipt or transaction reference. Our team will review in good faith and respond with institutional care.

  • Email hello@anandaliving.org

  • Include transaction details where available

  • Gateway and settlement timing may affect refund completion

Payment gateway status

Live payment processing may be enabled progressively. Until a donation is successfully processed and confirmed, support interest registrations do not create a refundable payment.

  • Interest registration is not a completed gift

  • Confirmed donations follow this refund policy

  • Refunded receipt records are retained with corrected status rather than silently removed

Tax and receipt treatment

Eligible INR contributions from Indian citizens may qualify for deduction under applicable law, subject to the donor's eligibility and the conditions governing the contribution. A refunded contribution may require receipt correction or reissue and may affect any deduction position for the donor.

  • No guaranteed tax result from a receipt

  • Corrections and reissues require audit history

  • Final legal and CA review required before live activation
