01Who may contribute
Individuals and organisations may contribute to the work of the International Process Excellence Council.
ReviewConfirm the Council's position on contributions from outside India. Foreign contributions are governed by the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010. Unless and until IPEC holds FCRA registration or prior permission, contributions from foreign sources must not be accepted, and the contribution form must prevent them.
02How contributions are applied
Contributions support the Council's public benefit initiatives in education, institutional excellence, knowledge and capability development.
Where you select a programme area, we will apply your contribution to that area. Where a designated programme is fully funded, cannot proceed, or is concluded, the Council may apply the contribution to a related programme, and will inform you if the amount is significant.
Contributions are not held as restricted funds unless a separate written agreement provides for it.
03Tax treatment
IPEC is registered under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act. This enables eligible donors to claim tax benefits on qualifying donations, subject to applicable law.
Whether a particular contribution qualifies, and the extent of any benefit, depends on applicable law and your own circumstances. IPEC does not provide tax advice and makes no representation about the tax treatment of any contribution. Please consult your own advisor.
To claim a benefit you will normally need to supply your PAN and a valid postal address. A receipt will be issued to the details you provide.
ReviewConfirm receipt format, timeline for issue, and the statutory particulars required, with the Council's auditor.
04Payment processing
Contributions are processed by ReviewInsert payment gateway legal name. IPEC does not store card, UPI or banking credentials. See the Privacy Policy.
A contribution is complete only when the payment gateway confirms a successful transaction. A pending or failed transaction does not constitute a contribution.
05Recurring contributions
Where a recurring contribution option is offered, you may cancel it at any time. Cancellation stops future instalments; it does not reverse instalments already collected and applied.
ReviewConfirm the recurring mandate mechanism, notice period and cancellation route once gateway integration is complete.
06Anonymity and acknowledgement
You may ask to remain anonymous. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will not publish your name.
Where a contributor wishes to be publicly acknowledged, acknowledgement is at the Council's discretion and does not imply endorsement of the contributor by the Council, or of the Council by the contributor.
07Contributions the Council may decline
The Council may decline or return a contribution where accepting it would be unlawful, would compromise the Council's independence, would create a conflict of interest, or would be inconsistent with its purposes or values.
