One of the ways you can participate in the GCF movement is to contribute financially.
The Golden Chain Fraternity is registered as a Charitable Trust under section 12A of the Income Tax Act and donations to GCF get a tax exemption under section 80G of the Income Tax Act. We have also acquired FCRA approval from the Home Ministry to be able to receive money from Foreign Sources. The Trust’s accounts are filed and audited every year.
Currently The Golden Chain Fraternity’s basic expenses, which include the printing and posting of the magazine as well as the running cost of the establishment (paying the rent, the telephone, the maidservant, the office supplies, computer maintenance etc.), come to around Rs 1.5 lakhs per year. Additionally the development of Swarnabhoomi and various other activities and projects that we have taken up also incur significant expenses.
The Fraternity does not have any income-generating operations, it depends entirely on donations to sustain its activities and fund its projects. So donations are always welcome.
