FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
About Seva Sanatan
What is the mission of Seva Sanatan?
Our mission is to promote selfless service ("Seva") and spiritual growth. We achieve this by organizing community projects, educational initiatives, and humanitarian aid to uplift both individuals and society as a whole.
What does "Seva" mean?
"Seva" is a Sanskrit word meaning "selfless service." It refers to the act of serving others without any expectation of reward or personal gain. It is a core principle of our organization, and we facilitate these acts on your behalf.
Service Booking and Fees
How can I book a Seva Service?
You can purchase a specific Seva Service (e.g., cow feeding, bird feeding, etc.) by navigating to the "Services" section of our website. You can select the service, date, and time, and complete the transaction using various online payment methods.
Are the Service Fees tax-deductible?
No, payments made on our website are strictly considered Service Fees for the fulfillment and execution of the requested Seva, not charitable donations. Therefore, they are generally not eligible for tax exemption. Please consult with a tax professional for specific advice regarding your region.
What does the Service Fee cover?
The fee covers all direct costs associated with fulfilling the service, including the purchase of materials (feed, supplies), labor costs for execution, and administrative expenses necessary to process your booking and provide a fulfillment report.
What is your Refund and Cancellation Policy?
You may request a full refund if your cancellation is received at least 48 hours before the scheduled service fulfillment date. Once the service has been physically executed and confirmed, the fee becomes non-refundable. Please refer to our dedicated Refund and Cancellation Policy page for full details.
