Welcome to Aaysha Welfare & Charitable Trust ("Aaysha Trust", "we", "us", or "our"). These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of our website and services, including making donations, applying for educational support, and viewing transparent distribution details. By accessing or using our platform, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using this website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age (or have parental/guardian consent if under 18) and possess the legal authority to agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms of Use, please refrain from using our website.
2. Donation Terms & Conditions
- Shariah Compliance: Aaysha Trust handles all Zakat and general charity contributions strictly in compliance with Shariah guidelines. Zakat funds are utilized solely for eligible educational and academic support of verified, deserving students.
- Payment Processors: We partner with secure third-party payment gateways (such as Razorpay) to process donations. By donating, you agree to comply with the terms and privacy policy of our payment partner.
- Tax Exemption (80G) & Form 10BD Filing: Eligible contributions are entitled to tax deductions under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Under amended Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) regulations and Rule 18AB, charitable organizations are legally mandated to furnish donor PAN details in an annual Statement of Donations (Form 10BD) to the Income Tax Department. This filing enables the department to generate the donor's official Form 10BE Certificate of Donation, which is essential to claim deductions in Income Tax Returns (ITR).
- Donor Responsibility for PAN Accuracy: Donors who wish to avail 80G tax benefits must furnish a valid 10-character Permanent Account Number (PAN) registered in their name. If a donation is made without a PAN or with incorrect details, the Trust cannot issue an 80G certificate or file Form 10BD for that transaction, and the tax deduction will be forfeited under Indian tax regulations.
- Sensitive Financial Data Security & Encryption: In full compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 and the Information Technology Rules, all PAN information entered during donations is encrypted at rest using bank-grade AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption and protected in transit via TLS 1.3. PAN data is utilized solely for statutory compliance and will never be published, disclosed, or shared with commercial entities.
- No Refunds: Since donations are utilized directly and immediately for student welfare and educational fees, all contributions made to Aaysha Trust are non-refundable.
3. Educational Support Applications
Students and parents applying for Zakat support or causes agree to:
- Provide complete, accurate, and genuine academic and financial documents during the application process.
- Consenting to background verification, reference checks, and verification with their academic institutions.
- Understand that submission of an application does not guarantee selection. The final decision rests with the Aaysha Trust Council based on eligibility criteria and available funds.
