Hey Srikanth:
Timely reminder - but as always, bureaucracy is a stumbling block. 80G registration takes a long time - we can only apply around 6 months after registration and so this is going to take a while longer.
=(
Thank you.

Hi all,
I am writing this mail to ask Chapter folks / Wikimedians experienced in Global Fundraising as to get some information on our preparedness to support INR currency in the Global Fundraising initiative which would be up later this year. I am under impression, Chapter is one of the pre-requisite. Now that we have a Chapter and that it has a bank account, I would like to know what else would it take to support INR this year. I would appreciate if Chapter takes this up as a key project(I dont see this listed currently) and helps in this since it is largely in legal / administration thing. I hope the community would always do its part, be it translating the banners, things which can be done by individual contributors.
- Providing support to donations in INR is 1st priority
- Optionally providing tax rebate under donations, would attract more
donors.
Regards Srikanth.L
