Frequently asked questions
Who runs NFI?
Nazim Foundation of India Trust is a charitable trust registered in Uttar Pradesh (Reg. No. 74/2024), founded in 2024 by residents of Basti. It supports orphans, widows, healthcare, education, skill development and community welfare.
How can I donate?

Is paying online safe?
Payments go through Razorpay. We never see or store your card or bank details.
How is my zakat handled?
Zakat is recorded separately from other gifts and spent only on people eligible to receive it: orphans, widows, the poor and people in debt.
What is the difference between zakat, sadaqah and lillah?
Zakat is obligatory alms for eligible people. Sadaqah is voluntary charity for any programme. Lillah / Imdaad can fund buildings, schools and community facilities that zakat cannot.
Will I get a receipt?
Yes. An acknowledgement with your Razorpay payment ID appears as soon as the payment is confirmed, and you can download or print it as a PDF.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Not yet. No 80G registration is published on this website, so please do not count on an income-tax deduction. This answer will be updated once the registration is confirmed.
Can I get a refund?
Donations are not refundable, except duplicate or mistaken payments reported within 7 days. Our refund policy explains how to ask.
Every rupee, accounted for
We publish our annual reports and accounts, and every online donation comes with an acknowledgement you can print.
