Transparency: our registrations, our books and our follow ups
Alorah Foundation publishes its registrations, its annual filings and the outcome of every funded project. What we ask the public to trust, the public can verify.
Permanent records
These do not change from year to year and they are printed in the footer of every page on this site, so anybody can check them against the public registers.

Annual filings
FY 2026 to 27 is the trust’s first full financial year. For that year and every year after it we publish, on the document vault, the income tax return after it is filed, the audited profit and loss statement and balance sheet after the audit, and a masked list of donors. Each carries its own status on the page, so you can see what has been published and what is still owed rather than guessing from an empty section.
We would rather say “after audit” on a page than publish a figure we cannot yet stand behind.
Project level accounting
Money given to a named need is tracked against that need. Each open need shows the goal, the amount raised and the amount still short, and each funded project carries a utilisation trail down to the rupee. A donor who funds a solar light for a household can see what that household cost.
Unless a donation is directed at a specific open project it goes to the trust’s general charitable fund. If a directed project becomes fully funded or cannot proceed, the balance is applied to a similar charitable purpose, and the terms say so.
Photographs over five years, not a handover shot
Every funded project is photographed before the work, after the work, and again at one, two and five years. This is the part of our accounting that is hardest to fake and the part most worth reading. Where a beneficiary’s dignity asks for privacy, the project carries no photographs at all and the page says plainly that it is documented rather than photographed. We would rather lose the picture than publish somebody’s worst month.
What we do with donor information
To issue an 80G receipt the trust collects a donor’s name, PAN and address, because Form 10BD requires exactly that. Donor and beneficiary names are published only in masked form, for example R****h K. Full records are kept internally and are shared with the authorities where the law requires it, and nowhere else. See the privacy policy, and read how the 80G tax benefit works.
Where the money goes in and out
Donations reach the trust’s own current account at Axis Bank, whether they arrive by UPI, bank transfer, card or net banking. The donor is charged exactly the amount they entered, and the 80G receipt is always for the full amount charged: the payment gateway’s fee is the trust’s expense, not a deduction from your gift.
Ask us for anything that is not here
If a document you want is not published yet, write to us and ask for it. A trust that publishes its books should not be difficult about the one page you actually wanted.
