ETERNAL SOCIAL RESTORATION FOUNDATION is an incorporated Section 8 Not-for-Profit Company registered under the Companies Act, 2013, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India (CIN: U86900GJ2026NPL177294). All financial contributions, donations, and pro bono resources received by the Foundation are applied strictly and exclusively toward executing our 12 statutory non-profit objects: protecting senior citizens from neglect and abuse, defending women against domestic distress, preventing child exploitation and forced labor, providing free legal aid and counseling for non-cognizable civil grievances, and fostering rural welfare and community dignity.
All donations remitted to the Eternal Social Restoration Foundation are 100% voluntary, gratuitous, and unconditional charitable gifts. By making a donation, the donor explicitly confirms that the funds are transferred without any commercial quid pro quo, commercial expectation, or contractual consideration. Donors acquire zero shares, equity, commercial interest, operational control, voting rights, or proprietary governance claims over the Foundation or its programs.

Because donations are voluntary charitable contributions that are promptly allocated toward ongoing social welfare operations, emergency legal aid counseling, and beneficiary welfare programs, donations once remitted to the Foundation are generally non-refundable. Donors are advised to verify the payment amount and account details carefully before confirming any bank transfer or UPI transaction.
The Foundation recognizes that technical errors or accidental duplicate entries may occasionally occur. The Foundation will consider refund requests strictly under the following statutory conditions:
• Eligibility Criteria: (a) An accidental duplicate debit where the donor’s bank account was charged multiple times for a single intended donation, or (b) An erroneous typographical error in the transferred sum resulting from a demonstrable banking glitch.
• Reporting Window: The donor must submit a formal refund request in writing within seven (7) calendar days from the date of the transaction.
• Required Documentation: The donor must email contact@esrfhelp.org providing: (1) Full Name and Contact Details, (2) Copy of Government ID proof, (3) Transaction Reference Number / UTR Number, (4) Date and exact time of transfer, and (5) Bank account statement showing the debit.
• Verification & Processing: Validated refund requests will be scrutinized by the Foundation’s Finance Committee within seven (7) business days. Approved refunds will be remitted strictly back to the original source bank account from which the payment originated.
In compliance with Section 80G and Section 12A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) notifications:
• Donors seeking statutory tax exemption receipts under Section 80G are legally required to provide their Permanent Account Number (PAN) and residential address at the time of donation in accordance with Section 139A.
• The Foundation reports all verified eligible donations to the Income Tax Department via mandatory annual statutory filings (Form 10BD).
• An official computerized donation certificate (Form 10BE) will be generated and emailed to eligible donors following statutory filing cycles.
In strict adherence to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 (FCRA):
• The Eternal Social Restoration Foundation accepts contributions EXCLUSIVELY from Indian citizens holding domestic Indian bank accounts remitted in Indian National Rupees (INR).
• The Foundation does NOT accept donations from foreign nationals, foreign corporations, overseas credit cards, or foreign bank accounts, nor does it accept inward international remittances until formal FCRA registration is granted by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India.
• Any contribution originating from a foreign source will be rejected or returned to the originating institution in accordance with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines.
To prevent financial malfeasance and adhere to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA):
• The Foundation enforces tiered Know Your Donor (KYD) documentation. Any single contribution exceeding ₹50,000 (Rupees Fifty Thousand) mandates verification of the donor’s PAN card and government address proof.
• Completely anonymous, untraceable, or bearer instrument contributions exceeding statutory thresholds are strictly prohibited.
• The Foundation reserves the right to decline or freeze any remittance where the source of funds cannot be verified or appears suspicious.
In accordance with Part M of the Foundation’s Constitution Deed, no volunteer, panel advocate, area associate, or office bearer is authorized to collect cash donations, solicit loans, or receive personal funds in the name of the Foundation.
The Foundation maintains an absolute cashless donations policy for public collections. Donors are strictly warned against handing cash to any individual claiming to represent ESRF. The Foundation bears zero responsibility for private cash handovers and will initiate criminal action under Sections 447 and 448 of the Companies Act, 2013 against any person misusing its name.
Donors may indicate a preference to support a specific statutory object (such as Elderly Support, Child Education Aid, Women’s Legal Defense Camps, or Tree Plantation). The Foundation endeavors to apply earmarked funds toward the designated program. However, if a specific initiative becomes fully funded, unfeasible, or interrupted due to administrative or legal factors, the Governing Body reserves the discretion to reallocate the contribution to general social restoration programs of an equivalent humanitarian nature.
The Foundation welcomes partnerships with corporations and institutional donors qualifying under Section 135 and Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013. CSR partnerships are governed by formal bilateral Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), customized project milestones, statutory CSR-1 registration filing, and comprehensive fund utilization certificates (UCs) certified by independent practicing Chartered Accountants.
By initiating a contribution via our banking details or UPI QR code, the donor agrees not to initiate unwarranted chargebacks, payment stops, or false bank claims without first exhausting our direct resolution procedure. If a dispute or chargeback is initiated, the Foundation will submit complete transaction records, IP logs, and official receipts to the relevant banking institution to substantiate the legitimate non-profit contribution.
The Eternal Social Restoration Foundation adheres to the highest standards of financial transparency:
• All organizational disbursements and banking operations are protected by dual-signatory executive controls.
• Foundation accounts are audited annually by an independent, qualified Chartered Accountant.
• Audited financial statements, Directors’ reports, and statutory returns are regularly submitted to the Registrar of Companies (RoC Ahmedabad), Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and the Income Tax Department.
