Give to the libraries
Two steps: pay the society directly from your own UPI app or bank, then tell us, so we can thank you and send your receipt.
Pay Bhoral directly
We don't take payments on this site. Pay from your own UPI app or bank, to the organisation's own account below, then tell us with the form.
UPI
bhoral.sample@example
Your app should show the name BHORAL VILLAGE LIBRARY SOCIETY. If it shows a person's name, stop and call us.

Cheques payable to Bhoral Village Library Society.
Keep the transaction ID. Your UPI app or bank shows a transaction ID (UTR) when you pay: a 12-digit number for UPI and IMPS. Type it in the form below. It is how we match your gift to you, and without it we may not be able to send your receipt.
Tell us you've given
After you pay, send us these details. If you haven't paid yet, you can send them as a pledge and pay later. Monthly gifts: set up a standing instruction with your bank, or a monthly UPI reminder, and tell us once.
Your receipt and tax certificate
Within two working days
We email an acknowledgement with the amount, the date and your transaction ID.
If you asked for a tax certificate
Our accounts team writes or calls to ask for your PAN. We never ask for it on this site.
By 31 May after the tax year
We file our statement of donations with the Income Tax Department and send you the donation certificate it generates (Form 114, formerly 10BE). Your deduction depends on it.
Why PAN, and why not here: the department's certificate needs your PAN (or a passport or voter ID number). Form submissions on this site are stored in our inbox and emailed to two people, so we keep ID numbers out of them. Our accounts team asks for your PAN by email or phone, keeps it only with the accounts, and uses it only for your certificate.

Giving from outside India
We are not registered under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, so we can't accept money from foreign citizens, OCI or PIO cardholders, or companies and foundations outside India, even through friends in India. Indian citizens living abroad may give from their own savings through an Indian bank account or UPI. If you're not sure which you are, write to us before you give.
