The online donations through credit / debit cards should be used only for making donations to the Openheart Social Organisation & Charitable Trust. In case you wish to make your contribution to OSOCT for any other purpose, please use the cheque / pay order / DD method.

All donations accepted through online methods will be accounted for as the income of the OSOCT and will be applied for the charitable purposes they are meant for. However, if the donor wishes to make a large Corpus donation as its long term capital, then he should only use the cheque / pay order / DD method and state specifically in his covering letter that the donation is meant as contribution to the Corpus of OSOCT. In the absence of such specific direction, the donation will be accounted for as income of OSOCT by the Indian Income Tax Dept.

The facility of making online donations is currently restricted to Indian nationals and Indian organisations, in Indian rupees only.
