Terms & Conditions

1 Acceptance of Terms & Entity Identity

Welcome to the official website of Pure for Cure (pureforcure.org / hkmguwahati.org). By accessing this website, making a voluntary donation, signing up for volunteer service, or participating in any outreach initiative, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

Pure for Cure is a humanitarian compassionate food distribution initiative organized, managed, and executed under the aegis of Hare Krishna Movement Guwahati, a registered religious, charitable, and public welfare trust under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, headquartered at Hare Krishna Movement Marg, Ghorajan, North Guwahati, Assam – 781031.

2 Donations & Section 80G Tax Exemption

All financial contributions made to Pure for Cure are purely voluntary and categorized as unconditional charitable donations toward free food distribution (annadanam) to impoverished hospital attendants, caregivers, cancer patients, and disaster victims:

• Tax Exemption Benefit: Donations made to Hare Krishna Movement Guwahati are eligible for 50% tax deduction under Section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961.
• Mandatory PAN Requirement: In strict compliance with Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) notifications, donors seeking an 80G certificate must provide their valid Permanent Account Number (PAN) and full legal address. Without a valid PAN, the donation cannot be registered on the Income Tax Portal (Form 10BD).
• Form 10BE Issuance: Pure for Cure generates an instant verifiable donation receipt with unique transaction reference on screen. Formal Form 10BE certificates are submitted to the IT portal at the end of the financial year and emailed to the registered email address.
• Currency Acceptance: Online payments are accepted in Indian Rupees (INR) through domestic cards, UPI, Netbanking, and approved payment mechanisms.

3 Cancellation & Refund Policy

Because Pure for Cure operates an active nutritious meal kitchen where food grains, fresh produce, and logistics are committed immediately to daily cooking schedules, donations once successfully executed are considered final and non-refundable.

In such verified circumstances, the donor must email a formal written refund request to info@pureforcure.org within seven (7) calendar days of the transaction date, including payment proof, bank statement debit screenshot, transaction reference ID, donor name, and contact number. Upon audit verification, the eligible excess amount will be processed back to the original funding account within 7 to 10 working days (subject to standard banking reconciliation timelines).

4 Transparent Allocation & Use of Funds

Pure for Cure adheres to strict financial transparency and audited governance. All contributions are allocated exclusively toward:

• Procurement of FSSAI-tested raw ingredients (rice, dal, pure spices, fresh vegetables, cold-pressed oils).
• Hygienic semi-automated kitchen operations, LPG fuel, water purification, and stainless-steel insulated food transport containers.
• Customized insulated meal distribution vans operating daily between North Guwahati and hospital kiosks (AIIMS Guwahati, Guwahati Medical College & Hospital (GMCH), BBCI).
• Biodegradable, food-grade eco-friendly paper packaging and disposable cutlery.
• Immediate emergency relief mobilization during Assam flood situations.
