Donations to PNLIT Corpus Fund

As another financial year draws to a close, we at PNLIT look back, happy that we were able to meet the lake maintenance expenses, and hopeful of being able to get similar support in the year ahead.

As we've communicated through our blog / emails in the past (see our earlier appeal here), we meet our Rs 40,000-50,000 monthly expenses (workers' salaries, ad hoc labour, gardening material, general maintenance, consumables, etc) from donations made by residents of the area and other well wishers. We are working to build up a corpus of about Rs 60 lakhs, which, in the long run, will meet most of our annual expenditure from the interest. 

If you have not yet fulfilled your charity commitments for this year, please consider donating to the PNLIT corpus fund. If you are assessed to tax in India, donations before March 31, 2014 will be eligible for IT exemption u/s 80G (50% exempt) for FY 2013-14.

Thank you for your support,
