Similar to
justgiving.com in UK, we have something closer home
giveindia.org.
We can actually use their platform for commerce. Give India provides these
facilities only to charities. They keep a nominal fees for a transaction.
If everyone is ok with this. I would be happy to connect the individual to
the
giveindia.org.

Iv had some fundraising experience with charities -
both in India and the
UK. The simplest method of accepting payment is tying up with an external
party such as
http://www.justgiving.com/ (from experience - this is one of
many that specialise in online fundraising for charities in the UK). If the
amount is relatively small this makes sense, however for higher amounts we
may as well sign up with a merchant as that would be cheaper if we have
volume. Rather than requesting funds through NEFT (which is a better mode
for payments such as membership fee etc), for this you could opt for Net
Banking or even cheques by post!
As for 80G, the more you run after it the more the babu will want from you.
If you put a bundle on the table, the certificate will be in your hand in
days. However, from experience I can tell you, if you dont bother about it -
just complete official formalities, the form will come by post to your
office in due course.
Kind Regards,

I think 80G is nice to have, but shouldnt stop us. Also we are not probably
looking at large scale(We would love if they come), but typically my
equivalents to 5 10 20 dollors would 250 500 1000 INR for which most would
not take trouble of getting receipts and eventually getting the
benefit(Atleast the folks who do online donations) since the tax benefit
would be negligible.

So my next question is without which are we eligible to collect donations
online, would just like to know the bureaucracy around it? I now know the
chapter can receive donations through NEFT[1].If we are good to go then the
next thing to work out would be a payment gateway / payments partner helping
us in giving options to various bank netbanking / credit/debit cards,
ofcourse a decent API. The more the merrier. Also if we could get some
sponsorship/deal from them in terms of the cut they take for transaction
cost. People who have experience with online payment solutions can add their
inputs.
http://www.ccavenue.com/ works best for accepting payments online from
various netbanking accounts in India.
Thanks for the timely reminder and initiative on this, Srikanth.
