Donation in Rupees

 

Currently, we are running short on funds in Rupees in India for paying to the marble and other contractors. 

 

Members are requested to offer help by sending their donation in Rupees.

Donation of Rs. 2 lakhs or more can be paid in India and the corresponding amount in dollars calculated @ Rs. 80 per US Dollar will be credited to your General Fund account (e.g., for a donation of Rs. 4 lakhs, $5000 will be credited).

 

The funds credited in the General fund account can be used for taking any Labh/Gheeboli for the New Jain Center Project.

 

Please note that for donations made in Rupees,

NO CHARITY DONATION RECEIPT can be given for claiming charity donation on tax return to IRS. If you are taking standard deduction (and not itemizing deductions) on your tax return, you can offer this help with no monetary loss. 

 

If you are willing to help, please contact

Pragnesh Shah at  301-305-4261 or by e-mail to newtemplefinance@jainsocietydc.org.
