Donation Refund Policy

Dana Pani Seva Sansthan follows a reliable refund policy to let our donors feel privileged about their association with us. We take utmost care about processing donations as per the mandates signed by our donors in the donor forms, both offline and online. But in case of an unlikely event of an erroneous deduction or if the Donor wants to cancel/deduct the donation, the Dana Pani Seva Sansthan Foundation will respond within 7 working days from the date of receiving the complaint from a donor. The timely refund of the wrongly deducted amount will depend on the type of card used during the transaction. We would require proof of deduction of the donation amount and a written communication for refund from the donor within two days after the donation.

• In such cases, if the receipt has already been issued, then the Donor needs to return the original receipt to our official address.
• In the case of a tax exemption certificate already issued, a refund will not be possible.

We can be contacted for a refund request through the following:
*International donations will require more working days for a refund
