Running a Transparent Hundi and Donation System

Every contribution, recorded

When a devotee gives, they should be able to receive an acknowledgement without friction. A simple, receipted flow protects both the devotee and the temple.

Good practices

• Issue a receipt for every contribution

• Reconcile hundi collections with two staff present

• Keep donation categories simple and clear

• Share summarised reports with trustees regularly

Transparency is not extra work — done well, it reduces disputes and strengthens devotee confidence.
