Story of the campaigner
At the Shri Sant Eknath Maharaj Old Age Home, our day begins with a prayer of gratitude, but it often ends with a heavy question: 'How will we sustain the next 30 days of care?'
We are currently the only family for rescued mothers and fathers in Wagholi, Pune. These are elders who spent their entire lives working hard, only to be abandoned when they became 'too old' or 'too sick.' Many were found on the streets with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
Our Mission is Simple: 100% Free Care.We charge our residents ₹0. We believe that serving the elderly is the highest form of Dharma, and no parent should ever have to beg for a meal. However, providing specialized nutrition, constant medical care, and a safe shelter for people costs nearly ₹1,36,395 every month.
We are not asking for cash, we are asking for your Seva.Through this Donatekart campaign, you are not just 'giving money'; you are directly placing a bowl of warm rice or a life-saving pill into the hands of an elder. Your contribution of:
₹1,000 provides 10 days of full nutrition and medicine for one resident.
₹5,000 sustains 5 elders for a significant portion of the month.
Radical Transparency: You are with us.We know your trust is earned. That is why we provide:
Daily Seva Audits: Updated every morning at 8:30 AM so you know exactly how the resources are used.
80G Tax Benefits: Your kindness is eligible for tax deduction.
Direct Impact: Every grain of rice you donate arrives at our doorstep in Wagholi.
Please don't scroll past. These mothers and fathers are waiting for a sign that humanity hasn't forgotten them. Be that sign today. 🙏

FAQs
After you complete your donation successfully, you will find the 'GET 80G' button on the payment success page. Please fill in your PAN number, complete address, and name as per PAN and submit. Your 80G certificate will be generated and sent via email within 24 hours.
Alternatively, you can get your 80G receipt in a few simple steps:
- Log in to your account using the same email ID you used for the donation
- Go to ‘My Donations’
- Choose the financial year for which you'd like the donation certificate
- Click on ‘Download 80G Certificate’
- Fill out the Form (if required)
- Submit the form and 80G will get downloaded instantly
Instead of receiving separate 80G certificates for each donation, you'll receive a consolidated 80G certificate via email covering all your donations made through our platform in the financial year. Further, The corresponding 10BE form that proves your eligibility for the tax deduction will also be consolidated. This way, you won't have to worry about multiple downloads and can save time.
To qualify for tax exemption on your donations, you need to obtain a 10BE. This can be done by filing your 80G claims for donations made during the Financial Year (FY). You can download your 10BE from the ‘My Profile’ section by 31st May of the next FY and also receive it via email.
For example: if you made donations between April 2026 and March 2027 (FY 2026-27), you will get your 10BE by 31st May 2027, provided you need to claim the 80G for these donations.
Please note that you cannot claim 80G for donations made between April 2025 and March 2026 (FY 2025-26) anymore as the window for claiming it has closed. However, you can still get the 10BEs for that year if you made 80G claims on or before 31st July 2027.
Sometimes prices of the products change during the course of the campaign, we use these tips to cover the hike in prices and deliver the goods to NGOs.
