Terms and conditions

This portal is operated by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation. By making a contribution you accept these terms.

A contribution is a voluntary donation. No goods, services, benefit or consideration of any kind is provided in return, and a contribution confers no membership, entitlement, influence over research, or claim on any result arising from work that ANRF funds.

Selecting a programme records the purpose you wish to support, and your contribution is applied towards it. If you do not choose a particular programme and select “any programme”, your contribution will be applied to any of ANRF’s programmes at its discretion.

The allocation and administration of funds remains a matter for ANRF and is subject to its governing rules and applicable law.

Where a programme is closed, concluded or discontinued, ANRF may apply the contribution to another programme.

Contributions are accepted in Indian Rupees, with a minimum of ₹100 per transaction. There is no upper limit per transaction.

Payment is processed by a regulated payment gateway. Card, UPI and netbanking credentials are entered on the gateway’s own page and are never collected or stored by this portal.

A contribution is treated as received only once the payment gateway confirms it. A completed form alone does not constitute a contribution.

Transaction limits imposed by your bank, card issuer or by the Unified Payments Interface apply and are outside our control. For larger contributions, net banking is generally the more reliable route.

Please make sure the details you provide are accurate, including your PAN. A receipt is issued on the basis of what you enter, and an incorrect PAN may prevent a deduction being claimed.

A receipt can be downloaded from this portal and is issued by email once payment is confirmed. Contributions to ANRF may qualify for a deduction of 50% of the donation from your taxable income under section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961, subject to the conditions of the Act.

ANRF’s 80G registration number is AAAJA3191J. Nothing on this portal is tax advice, and eligibility depends on your own circumstances. Please consult your tax adviser.

Contributions once processed cannot be cancelled or refunded.

For contributors located outside India other than OCI cardholders, please write to us at support-donate@anrf.gov.in to make a contribution.

Personal information is handled as described in our privacy policy.

These terms may be updated, and the revised version applies to contributions made after it is published. The terms in force at the time of your contribution govern that contribution.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Delhi have exclusive jurisdiction.
